javascript - How to append the url to anchor tag inside a div which i got as a json response? -

i made ajax api , json response

$.ajax({             url: 'http://api.yipit.com/v1/deals/key=tmbyhkzfcntmb&limit=20&division=boston',             datatype: 'jsonp',             success: function (data) {                 console.log(data);                 var = data.response.deals[0].business.url;                 // below url of page .htm extension                 console.log("link "+a);                 var mydiv = document.getelementbyid("empid");                 var atag = document.createelement('a');                  atag.setattribute('href', "what i'm supposed put here ");                 atag.innerhtml = "link text";                 empid.appendchild(atag);             }         }); 

i have got value in a variable link , want use url in anchor tag.

use

atag.setattribute('href', a); 

a more appropriate way be

$.ajax({     url: 'http://api.yipit.com/v1/deals/key=tmbyhkzfcntmb&limit=20&division=boston',     datatype: 'jsonp',     success: function (data) {         var = data.response.deals[0].business.url;         $('<a />', {             href:a         }).text('link text').appendto('#empid')     } });
