document.getElementById to include href

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("IDOFELEMENT");
</script>

What is the correct way to turn this into a link?

Can I write

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("IDOFELEMENT").href("http://www.address.com");
</script>

Many thanks.

Solution

  • javascript:

    // this changes the href value<br>
document.getElementById("IDOFELEMENT").href = "http://www.address.com";

    and the html:

    <a href="www.toBeChanged.com" id="IDOFELEMENT">To Website< /a>
