Use an array index within a href [duplicate]

Question

I have an array of links and would like to use them in a href in Javascript. e.g array[i].link however i'm struggling to get the correct syntax. I've tried multiple ways e.g

"<p>Link</p>" + '<a href="array[i].link"> + array[i].link </a>'

but can't get it to work. Is there a way around it?

'<p>Link</p>' + '<a href="' + array[i].link + '">' + array[i].link </a>' — Gerardo

So your question is how to do string concatenation correctly? — Felix Kling

you have to use single quotes in javascript then concatenate the whole thing into one string — Chris Hutchison

array[i].link is not a string and therefore should be outside the " quotes.

Keep array[i].link outside the quotation marks, i.e...

'<a href=' + array[i].link + '>'

because it's not a string literal.

Edit:

The post JavaScript var in string may also help answer your question
