Question

Is there a way to add a link to an image using an input box, let say you have an image uploaded and you have an input,

Image Link: <input type="text" id="image_link"/>

in this box a user types in http://www.google.com
and you want the link to append to the image.
Is there a way to do this?

Did you mean something like this:

HTML:

<input/>
<button>set link</button>
<img src="http://media.heavy.com/post_assets/2010/03/0417/1267743226_stoned-party-dog-original.jpg" width="300"/>

Javascript:

$('img').wrap($('<a/>',{href:'',target:'_blank'}));

$('button').click(function(){
    var val=$('input').val();
    $('img').closest('a').attr('href',val.replace(/^([^(http://)].*)/,'http://$1'));
});
