How do I use a JavaScript variable in a href?

I have a JavaScript variable I grabbed from a form field and I am trying to use it for the href = value in a link. What is the proper way to output this JavaScript variable in HTML?

If you're not using jQuery, try this:

document.write('<a href="'+variable+'">Link to some site</a>');

This should be what you need.

var link = "http://www.google.com/";
var a = document.getElementById('yourlinkId');
a.href = link;

Update the href value via javascript. Using something like jQuery it is as simple as:

var link = "www.google.com";
$("a").attr("href", link);
