How to replace "-" with "_" in Vim using regular expressions?

Question

Can you advise me a regexp to replace - to _ in my HTML file but focus on href and src attributes only (I don't need to make any changes to contents of my Web page).

For instance:

Before:

<a href="my-profile.html">PLF Series</a>
<img src="images/my-sample.jpg">

After:

<a href="my_profile.html">PLF Series</a>
<img src="images/my_sample.jpg">

This one needs to be repeated until there is no match:

%s/\(\(href\|src\) *= *"[^"-]*\)-/\1_/g
