Javascript to create a link

[FabianoM]

Hello, I'm sorry for my English

I need to creat a link via javascript that pass the attribute rel:

I have the link:

Code: Select all

<a href="#page.php" rel="history">PAGE LINK</a>

I need something that call a javascript function, for example:

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:pageURL('#page.php','history')>PAGE LINK</a>

where call the function

Code: Select all

function pageURL(url, rel){

}

I don't know how to create in this function, I need creat the link with the href and rel attributes inside this function, and that in it same function execute the link automatically.

I need to do it, because I have to call it in the getURL of my flash menu, because the getURl don't suport the attribute rel.

Somebody can help me??

Thank's

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

You want to create a link that has an "inline" function on it via JS?

Please provide further info.

Hi, thak's for the answer...

I must call a function through my onclick to create the link, and on the same function executes the link created automatically.

Explaining:

my link should be only with the onclick, because I want to make a function that creates the link and executes it automatically, because I will use this function on getURL of the flash that not support to pass the rel attribute.

I have the link:

Code: Select all

<a href="#pagina.php" rel="history">PAGE LINK</a>

I want to transform it to something like this:

Code: Select all

<a href="#" onclick="pageURL('page name','rel attribute');">PAGE LINK</a>

And in the function "pageURL" I want to create the link with the href and rel attributes and after executes it automatically. I don1t know how to do it.

Thank's

Could you please provide your "pageURL" function.

[FabianoM]

Code: Select all

function pageURL(url, rel)
{
  var a=document.createElement('a')
  a.href=url
  a.rel=rel
  return a
}

But it is only returning the for me, I need to open the page automatically with this function as if it had been clicked in link.

Thank's

You want to create the link?

You need to "append" the created element instead.

Use appendChild(). For further reading:

Hope that helps.

Thak's, but it wil only create the link on the page right?... I need that the link be created and executed automatically on the same function, opening the corresponding page.

You want to open the URL as passed on "url" argument?

Have you tried on using window.open() after appending the link?

[FabianoM]

No, Can you explain to me how to do it?? Sorry, but I'm not good in javascript.

After you use the "appendChild()" function, you can add a line which would open the passed URL:

Code: Select all

window.open(url,'window_name','width=300,height=300');


Hope that helps.

[FabianoM]

Sorry, but it must open in the same window...

Use location.href then.
