In the markup, this can be achieved with the following:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" NavigateUrl="http://www.coolsite.com" runat="server">http://www.coolsite.com</asp:HyperLink>

Notice the NavigateUrl attribute. This is the URL that will be placed inside of the href. The inner text is the text that is rendered to the client. Knowing this, you can achieve the same results with this code in your code behind:

string yourUrl = "http://www.coolsite.com";

this.HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = yourUrl;
this.HyperLink1.Text = yourUrl;

<a id="theLink">http://www.coolsite.com</a>

so to code in jquery:

<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
     $(document).ready(function() {
         $("#theLink").attr("href", "http://www.coolsite.com");
     });
</script>

If the var="http://www.coolsite.com" is a javascript variable. you could use javascript to modify the href attribute of a anchor tag. If you use jQuery you can use the attr method.

$('Atag').attr({href:"http://www.coolsite.com"});

If you use plain js code, you can use:

co = document.getelementById('AtagID');
co.setAttribute('href',URL);

If you variable is on the server side use an asp:Hyperlink instead and set it when the value gets changed.
