    What's (or what are the options for) the exact syntax of a javascript link?

    Thanks!

    There are no links in javascript. You can open a new window, change the current location or reload it, you can create an html element which is a link and lots of other stuff, but there is no 'javascript link'. I imagine the thing you are asking about is - how to create <a> link with javascript. Here's the simplest way to do that:
    
//create the <a> tag 
var myLink = document.createElement('a');
a.href = 'http://mysite.com/';
a.innerHTML = 'link text';

//and append it to the page body
document.body.appendChild(myLink);
    Code (markup):
