Creating a Hyperlink Node

[b00ger]

I'm trying to create a hyperlink node and append it as a child to a table cell. I've sucessfully appended a text node to the table cell using document.createTextNode() and appending it using the myCell.appendChild(myTextNode), but I cannot figure out how to put a hyperlink there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

newLink = document.createElement("a&quot
newLink.href = "somePage.htm"
newLink.target = "_blank"
myCell.appendChild(newLink)

mwolf00, thanks for your reply. do you know the attribute to assign the text to the link, that is, what you click on when viewing the link on the page. do you append a text node to it? thanks again!

Unfortunately, you would need to append a text node as a child. That is the very reason the I use .innerHTML in this instance. Nodes are a little bothersome when you want to label inputs and links...
