hyperlinking a variable

Hi, I am trying to make it so whatever the user types into the prompt box appears on screen, and once it is on screen, they can click it and it will link to the url they entered. Thanks.

I have this local variable in a function in the head so far (with an onLoad event linking to the function), but it doesn’t link:

var myUrl = prompt(“Please type in a full URL address”, “”);
document.write(“<a href=’myUrl’>myUrl</a>”);

@wbportMar 24.2011 — You need to move it first:
[CODE]self.location.href = myURL;[/CODE]For an example, disable javascript then visit crenshaw.htm. If you don't disable scripts first you will be redirected in five seconds.

Success!
