[Javascript] getElementsByTagName not working ???

[Roger Roelofs]

James,

Can you post a url?  I'm not seeing anything wrong with the code you  
posted, but there's nothing like a real web page to flush out bugs.   
By the way, in this case you could more easily do this...

document.getElementById("splink").href = "http://www.google.com";

since the link has an id anyway.
