Replace part of URL in anchor using JavaScript

I have the following anchor link on my page:

<a href="https://example.com/sizeguide/brand.html" id="size-guide" target="_blank"><span class="pull-right">View Size Guide</span></a>


However, I need to change the brand part of the URL for different brands using JavaScript, using a handlebars function called product.brand.domain.

product.brand.domain

I've given the anchor a unique ID, but I can't find a way to accomplish what I need.

Use:

document.getElementById('size-guide').src='newUrl';


Suppose if you want to change brand.html to newbrand.html, then do following

var href = document.getElementById("size-guide").getAttribute('href');
href = href.replace(/(.*)/.*(.html$)/i, '$1/newbrand$2');
document.getElementById("size-guide").setAttribute("href", href);
