Question

This is my current code that’s working just fine:

$("h2").html("Well played!");

What if I wanted to link the words “Well played!” to a page of some sort?

I tried doing some different variations of

< a href=””>

…but that simply didn’t work. Any help? 🙂

Answer 1

If you wanted to append the link to the h2 element:

$('h2').html('<a href="http://path.to.whatever/page.html">Well played</a>');

Or you could simply use:

$('h2').append('<a href="http://path.to.whatever/page.html">Well played</a>');

Or:

$('<a />', {'text' : 'well played', 'href' : 'http://path.to.whatever/page.html'}).appendTo('h2');
