variable href

[IxxI]

Simple question but I've managed to stump myself (pretty easy to do...) ;)
How would I write a variable called from a javascript file into the href of a link tag I've tried href=''+variable+'' (those are all single quotes), and variations on that theme, but no joy...

If you're doing this after the page has loaded, use document.getElementByTagName("tagName")[n].href (where tagName is the element, for example, an anchor [<a>] element, and n is the number in the array of elements in the page).

Without going into your need to do it this way..

here is how you can do that

<a href="#" onclick="this.href=url;">W3c</a>

where url is a global variable
url = "http://w3c.org"

How about:

document.write('<a href="'+variable+'">your variable link</a>');

You can also use the document.links[] or document.anchors[] arrays, and change the href:


var url = "http://www.W3C.org/";
document.links[0].href = url;
