jQuery change Rel of element

A quick snippet on how to change/add a new Rel to an element.

   <script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").each(function(index) {
    var curRel = $(this).attr("rel");
    if (curRel !== "ignore")
        $(this).attr("rel", curRel + "rel here");
});
});
</script>

This could be useful in instances where you wish to add say a prettyPhoto del ‘prettyPhoto’ to a set of links that have been generated by a 3rd party script.
