Use Array in HTML URL

Question

Here is my Javascript at the top in the head.

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    var myGallery=new Array();
            myGallery[0]="../images/gallery2/2009_09_04-BretErnst_0013.jpg"; 
</script>

Now I want to be able to call myGallery[0] and use that as a href.

So I try:

<li>
    <a href="myGallery[0]" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery1]" title="You can add caption to pictures. You can add caption to pictures. You can add caption to pictures.">
        <img src="myGallery[0]" width="60" height="60" alt="Red round shape" />
    </a>
</li>

But the variable is not being replaced with the string...

Help?

You have to do document.getElementById('myGallery[0]').href = myGallery[0]; — PitaJ

The HTML is already rendered before you are able to do anything with javascript. Hence you are just adding some string to HTML. — PeeHaa

Well, you could learn how javascript and html interact by googling some tutorials. You cannot do it the way you are trying to do it because this isn't a serverside language like PHP. — TheZ

You can create a function to get the value like

function loadPic(index){
  window.location = myGallery[index];
}

And call the function from the link.

onclick = "loadPic(0)"
