Change Href

[shep02ss]

I am trying to change the href property of a link and when I try to change it, it only appends my link on to the current site. How do you overwrite the link completely!

Thanks

You mean like:

window.location.href="url"; ?

that would change the current page to another window.

I have the following in my page:

<a id='link1' href='http://www.msn.com'>

I have a function that looks for 'link1' and changes the href of that id, but it appends it to the URL of the current page that I have open like. Say I'm on http://www.yahoo.com and I have a function that changes a link to http://www.cnn.com this is what I get

http://www.yahoo.comhttp://www.cnn.com

Does that help?

well, I can't really say much without seeing the code. But did you try clearing the url of the current page first, then making the switch?
