I'll be the first to admit that this code snippet was not the ideal solution to my problem, but sometimes I take shortcuts. I know. It's terrible.
Anyway, I recently came across a bug in the Joomla EventList module that caused anchor urls to be output with &

But I went the quick and dirty route by writing a jQuery find and replace snippet that uses a simple regex. Maybe the form of this will be helpful to someone who has better reasons for using it.
This looks the 'href' attribute on all anchors, checks for the presence of the &
string, and replaces all occurrences with &
