Variable in link

@pc_macApr 18.2013

I was wondering if someone can help me? How can I pass a variable through a URL?
I want to add the variable in the middle of a URL in the href tag.

For example:
<li><a href”images/file”+ variable +’.jpg”/></a></li>

How is this done using JavaScript?
I have created the variable but how do I add it to the href tag?

Many thanks

var variable =myimg;

$("ul").append('<li><a href="images/file' + variable + ' ">' + variable + '</a></li>');

@rajivkumar925Apr 19.2013 — #for multiple links

try

for loop

by index

$("ul").append('<li><a href="images/file' + variable[i] + ' ">' + variable[i] + '</a></li>');

When I append the <li> script to the ul, another script of mine stops working.

I was wondering if you can help me further?

What I am trying to do is show the relevant image depending on what was clicked. (hence having a variable in the url)

Is there a way where I can read what is in div "Box" and then show the relevant <ul id="menu"></ul>.

So if the text in div "Box" = menu1 then <ul id="menu1"></ul> will display OR if div "Box" = menu2 then <ul id="menu2"></ul> will display (and hide menu1)

The text in div "Box" will change when a user clicks an image.

Hope this makes sense. Hope you can help!

I thought having a variable in the url would be the best way but I couldn't get it to work; the value in div "Box" was the variable in the url.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
