How to pass a value to <a href ="">

[Rob]

I have values like
<span id = "URL">URL</span>
where the id "URL" is generated by javascript automatically.

I know in JSP, one can pass the value directly like <a href = <%=URL>>

but how do I do this for javascript?

It is just the same in serverside Javascript:

<a href = '<% = URL %>'>

For clientside javascript, that seems not your Q, use the DOM.

you can use JS Dom model to access elements in HTML.

sample:
<a id="sampleLink" href="http://google.com"></a>

document.getElementById("sampleLink").getAttribute("href"); // which returns
"http://google.com"
document.getElementById("sampleLink").innerText = "Google";
