I have a string for a title and a string for a link. I'm not sure how to put the two together to create a link on a page using Javascript. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT1: Adding more detail to the question. The reason I'm trying to figure this out is because I have an RSS feed and have a list of titles ands URLs. I would like to link the titles to the URL to make the page useful.
EDIT2: I am using jQuery but am completely new to it and wasn't aware it could help in this situation.
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<script>
var a = document.createElement('a');
var linkText = document.createTextNode("my title text");
a.appendChild(linkText);
a.title = "my title text";
a.href = "http://example.com";
document.body.appendChild(a);
</script>
</body>
</html>
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.setAttribute('href',desiredLink);
a.innerHTML = desiredText;
// apend the anchor to the body
// of course you can append it almost to any other dom element
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(a);
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML += '<a href="'+desiredLink+'">'+desiredText+'</a>';
or, as suggested by @travis :
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML += desiredText.link(desiredLink);
<script type="text/javascript">
//note that this case can be used only inside the "body" element
document.write('<a href="'+desiredLink+'">'+desiredText+'</a>');
</script>
$('<a href="'+desiredLink+'">'+desiredText+'</a>').appendTo($('body'));
$('body').append($('<a href="'+desiredLink+'">'+desiredText+'</a>'));
var a = $('<a />');
a.attr('href',desiredLink);
a.text(desiredText);
$('body').append(a);
In all the above examples you can append the anchor to any element, not just to the 'body', and desiredLink is a variable that holds the address that your anchor element points to, and desiredText is a variable that holds the text that will be displayed in the anchor element.
Create links using JavaScript:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
document.write("<a href=\"www.example.com\">");
document.write("Your Title");
document.write("</a>");
//-->
</script>
OR
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('Your Title'.link('http://www.example.com'));
</script>
OR
<script type="text/javascript">
newlink = document.createElement('a');
newlink.innerHTML = 'Google';
newlink.setAttribute('title', 'Google');
newlink.setAttribute('href', 'http://google.com');
document.body.appendChild(newlink);
</script>
