using javascript to append text to a url

[hurricanedan]

I am trying to append a string to a url

I have a variable set:

var vLocate = "?country=1";

and I would like to append this to a link:

<a href="/somelink.html">Click Me</a>

How can this be done? I have seen bits and pieces of code that rewrites the whole url but then it does not explain what is in the href.

Thanks,

Dan

I believe you can get the link by adding an id to it and go:

var myLink = document.getElementById('linkId');

then, you can do this:

myLink.href = myLink.href + vLocate;

haven't tested it, but it should work.

trapach,

That did it.

Thanks,
