Javascript code as <href> value - is it possible

[alexod]

Hello

I have a such code

 <a href="tel:1111"></a>

Site owner asked my to include Javascript code as a link. Something like this

 <a href="tel:<script type="text/JavaScript" src="https://***/js/keyword_replacement.js"></script>"></a>

it's a 2 block javascript code (1st block i must include in head and the second block will generate phone number - each time new nubmer).

So my question is - is it possible to include such a code into href="tel:"

Like this

<a href="tel:<script type=\"text/JavaScript\" src=\"https://**/js/keyword_replacement.js\"></script>">1</a>

or

<a href='tel:<script type="text/JavaScript" src="https://**/js/keyword_replacement.js"></script>'>1</a>
or
<a href="tel:<script type="text/JavaScript" src="https://**/js/keyword_replacement.js"></script>">1</a>

No of this code didn't work properly

Any advice will be appreciated.

You can't embed one HTML tag within another. You need to create the original text in JavaScript as well as call the external script. Your code needs to be something like:

<script type="text/javascript">
 document.write('<a href="tel:');
</script>
 <script type="text/JavaScript" src="https://***/js/keyword_replacement.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 document.write('">1</a>');
</script>

document.write ? Really? (Sure, I've used it, but in most circumstances I'd be scared to death of obliterating the whole page by mistake.)

or you could give the a href tag an id, you could then run a script that writes the telephone number (on page load)

... the main question is why do you want to do this?
if the client thinks the telphone number won't be scraped by writing it in js, they may be mistaken, especually as once the phone number is out there, other sites will use it in their directories and those directories get scraped anyway.

No, the problem is other. My client is using dialogtech_com phone pool, that's why we put this js code on webpage. Each time page loads, it generates new phone number (so phone numbers are dinamic). That's the reason why i can not use static numbers.

ah! fair enough.
