My xml is a collection of events:

<events>
<event name="event1" />
<event name="event2" />
</events>

I have a JavaScript function looping through the xml and building a
list with the event names.
<div id='myDiv' />

<script js>
.... code ...
.... loop ..
{
document.getElementById('myDiv').innerHTML +=
'<li>'+objXMLNode.getAttribute('name')+'</li>';
}
... code ...
</script>

Everything works fine but I'd like now to have some events name as URL
links:

<events>
<event name="event1" />
<event name="&lt;a href=&quot;index.aspx?param=1&quot;
class=&quot;content_display&quot;&gt;SECOND EVENT&lt;/a&gt;" />
</events>

This is the XML created on the backend to be passed to the client
(maybe HTMLEncode is not the best idea ?).
However using the same JS function, loop through nodes and in the list
I get:

*event1
*<a href='index.aspx?param=1'>SECOND EVENT</a>

How can I tell the browser to actually display the link for the second
item?

Thanks,

If your code really sets innerHTML then I don't understand why you do
not get a link. The result you see would occur if you set innerText or
used document.createTextNode().

Exactly, I don't know either why it doesn't come up as a link but as a
literal: <a href='....'>some link</a>
However I complicated my XML a bit more by sending the link as a
separate attribute and check/display/construct the link based on the
new attribute.

Thanks for answering,
