Are you referring to using Javascript to make an HTML link? Perhaps you mean this...

externalFile.js

function writeLink(hRef, target, txt){
document.write("<a href=\""+hRef+"\" target=\""+target+"\">"+txt+"</a>");
}


Anypage.html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html lang="en-us">
<head><title>My page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
</head><body>
<p>Here is some text, and here is a <script type="text/javascript"><!--
writeLink("www.yahoo.com","_self","link");
//--></script>!</p>
</body></html>


Try putting these pages online and testing them to see the result of the function I've provided, if you do not understand it completely.

I am trying to create html links to other pages in my web site using an external .js file. What I need to know is what is the javascript code I need to write to call them. For example I need to link to a page called toys.html. How would I write that. I also need to create a link to my email address using javascript code. Any help I can get I would appreciate.

oh okay...
<script type="text/javascript">
function fnclink(page)
{
window.location=page;
}
</script>

and the html if you want the link to be text

<font onClick="fnclink('toys.html');" onMouseover="this.style.cursor='hand';">CLICK HERE!!!</font>

I've just showed you how.


document.write("<a href='toys.html'>Toys</a>");
document.write("<a href='mailto:you@yoursite.com'>Email me</a>");
