I'm having quite the brainbuster of an issue right now. I am trying to change a link's hash tag at the end from "respond" to "comments" with jQuery. I have a simple script that should do this, however it does not work. The link does not change. However, Firebug shows no errors and when I run the code in Firebug's console, it works just as I intend. Why doesn't this work on its own? Does anybody have a solution, I'm at my wits edge with this one.

(function ($) { 
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $("a[href$='respond']").each(function() { 
        $(this).attr("href", $(this).attr('href').replace("respond", "comments"));
    });
  });
})(jQuery.noConflict());

Thanks so much, I know this might be a pain to test but I'm really thankful.
