Question

I am trying to change a link programmatically.

Example:

I want to call a dialog and change an image buttons url link based upon the call it gets.

so:

<a href="javascript:myHref('http://www.google.com')" onclick="$('.hiddendiv').dialog('open');" >  Edit Address </a> 

the function myHref would change a link within the div (let’s call it myAnchor) to http://www.google.com.

Thoughts on how to go about this?
I’ve seen methods for changing a designated link, but not in this manner.

I think this code might be what you are looking for:

var linkattributes=document.getElementById("link-id").attributes;
linkattributes.getNamedItem("href").value = 'http://www.google.com';
