Javascript: How to use setAttribute "href" for a URL refering to another domain - Stack Overflow

In my html code I am using an <a> tag with empty <href> as the url is not known at the beginning.

Let's say a new aim now is getting known as "www.amazon.de". Now I try to change the href with javascript:

document.getElementById('linkname').setAttribute("href", "www.amazon.de");

But my browser creates only a relative link to my domain like this:

.amazon.de>

(this is shown if i hover over the link)

That's because www.amazon.de is a relative link. To link a different domain (host), you need to begin the authority ponent with double slashes: //www.amazon.de, or with the scheme included https://www.amazon.de.

You have to add the protocol ('https://') to the link:

document.getElementById('linkname').setAttribute("href", "https://www.amazon.de");

It seems you are missing 'http://' or 'https://'
