    var mydiv = document.getElementById("myDiv"); 
    var aTag = document.createElement('a');  
    aTag.setAttribute('href',"yourlink.htm");   
    aTag.innerHTML = "link text"; 
    mydiv.innerHTML=""; 
    mydiv.innerHTML=aTag;

On click of hyperlink aTag i need to call functionB. Please suggest.

You are calling the function B() or defining there ? Function within another function (nested function) may not supported by Java script. — JDGuide

You can do it like that:

aTag.onclick = function() {

    B();

}

or even shorter:

aTag.onclick = B;

If you just want to call function B try this:

aTag.onclick = function() {
  var a = new A();
  a.B();
}
