Javascript Hyperlink

[DarkArchon]

Here's the problem, I'm looking for a way to make a hyperlink in pure Javascript. The reason for this is that I'm working with a program for building websites that will automatically put a javascript opennewwindow in front of any <a href=" tag. I don't want it to do this and unfortunity there is no way to get rid of this.

So my question is this, is there a way to make a link in JS (or anything else) without useing <a href="> ? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

Have you tried writing the href from javascript?

like so:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<a href="yourlink.html">Link</a>");
</script>

I believe this was already answered in this thread (http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25702).

Thanks Fred,

Yep, I didn't notice I double quoted everything.

No problem. I just figured I'd point that out to avoid confusion — so if the original poster (or someone else) tried using your code he would know how to fix it.
