jQuery code snippet to update images with a domain name, turning it from a relative path into an absolute path. Sometimes useful when testing across domains with the same static content or pulling images from an external domain.

(function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('img').each(function (i, v) {
            var $el = $(this),
                s = $el.attr('src'),
                sRx = /[/res/images/.*]+/igm;
            console.log(s);
console.log(s.test(sRx));
            if (s.test(sRx)) {
                console.log('match');
                s = 'http://splash.abc.net.au' + s;
                $el.attr('src', s);
            }
