Can I add links to a JS array?

Question

I want to have a link to add to each of the elements in the array below:

var breadcrumb = ['About','Test2','Test3','Test4' ];

I tried to add

<a href ="/about/">About</a>

etc and so on but not good.

Is there a way of doing this within the array? And how can I print them to my aspx page?

Thank you

When you assign it as an element it's just a string. I'm guessing you didn't wrap it in quotes. var breadcrumb = ["<a href =\"/about/\">About</a>"] — scrappedcola

What do you want to store in the array? Is it the element tag with link? or the Strign of link only? — msagala25

@msagala I wish to make a link above the page title which acts as the link and text "about" for the content 'on' page. Which is about. If that makes sense :-) — cmp

Use createElement to make a link, set the address, then add it to the array. — Carcigenicate

Yes, you can put links or anything into a javascript array (use the real href values for you):

var breadcrumb = [
    "<a href='about.html'>About</a>",
    "<a href='test2.html'>Test2</a>",
    "<a href='test3.html'>Test3</a>",
    "<a href='test4.html'>Test4</a>"
];

If by printing you mean writing them to the page - I don't think this has anything specific to do with aspx since the array is in Javascript. You could do this:

for( var index = 0; index < breadcrumb.lengh; index++ ){
     document.write("<div>" + breadcrumb[index] + "</div>" );
}

Or you could use jQuery for more elaborate DOM manipulation to add your links to the page.
