I have a list of links that all go to a google maps api.

the links already have the daddr (destination) parameter in them as static. I am using Geo-Location to find the users position and I want to add the saddr (source address) to the links once I get the data.

so basically I will need to add something like &saddr=50.1234567,-50.03452 at the tail end of all the links pointing to google maps

All the links have a class called directions-link

and from this page I have figured out how to change them:

$("a.directions-link").attr("href", "http://www.google.com/");

However I only want to append my value to the end of the href without changing what the href already is.

How can I do that?

Thanks!!
