using HREF in array

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 17.2011

Hey, I’m new to Javascript and I’m trying to edit some code on our company website. We have the contact info for our franchises stored in arrays and I want to wrap the phone numbers with <a href=”#” rel=”tel”> so that they’ll appear as links on mobile devices.

I’m just unfamiliar with the syntax and I can’t figure out how to add the <a> to the array without breaking it. Is it even possible?

Here’s an example of the contact info for one of our properties:

[CODE]
contactInfo[“5”] = [“165 Belmont Street<br />Woodland, WA 98674”, “165 Belmont Street, Woodland, WA 98674”, “<b>Tel:</b> 525-225-1355<br /><b>Fax:</b> 525-225-7813”, “<b>Office Hours:</b><br />9:00-5:00<br />Monday-Saturday”, “1716”];
[/CODE]

Thanks in advance

@SockwaveJan 17.2011 — Not sure what the problem is. Can you add the tag manually to each entry, or do you want to do it automatically? If you're concerned about having the quotes inside the <a> tag, use single quotes, i.e.
<i>
</i>contactInfo["5"] = ["165 Belmont Street&lt;br /&gt;Woodland, WA 98674", "165 Belmont Street, Woodland, WA 98674", "&lt;a href='#' rel='tel'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tel:&lt;/b&gt; 525-225-1355&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fax:&lt;/b&gt; 525-225-7813", "&lt;b&gt;Office Hours:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9:00-5:00&lt;br /&gt;Monday-Saturday", "1716"];

If you want to automate it, you'll just have to figure out how to parse the string in contactInfo["5"][3] and add the changes.

@JPDauthorJan 17.2011 — Thanks. I feel stupid, but yeah, it was the single quotes inside the double quotes. That's what I needed. Like I said, I'm learining ?

Thanks again.
