tried something like this but not work.

Solution

  • You need to use ID Selector ("#id")

     $("#aa embed").attr('src', 'new link');

    OR

     $("#aa").find('embed').attr('src', 'new link');

    DEMO

    EDIT

    var aa =  $("#aa").clone();
aa.find('embed').attr('src', 'http://jquery.thewikies.com/swfobject/fireworks.swf')
$("#aa").replaceWith(aa);
alert( $("#aa").find('embed').attr('src'));
