href not working in IE8 but working fine in firefox..

[sourabh1989]

I have dynamically created href in javascript which works absolutely fine in firefox but shows error in chrome and IE8.

var file_name= "www.google.com";
var link=document.createElement('link');
link.setAttribute('href' , file_name);
link.appendChild(document.createTextNode(argument[i]));
td.appendChild(link);

Any suggestions will be very helpful... Thanx in advance..

You want to create a <link> element inside a td (supposedly)?? What would be the purpose of that?

Did you maybe want to create an <a> anchor tag instead?

var file_name= "www.google.com";
var link=document.createElement('A');
link.setAttribute('href' , file_name);
link.appendChild(document.createTextNode(argument[i]));
td.appendChild(link);
