TRY:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var linkurl = "//www.linkurl.com";
var linktext = "linktext";
function print_munged_link()
{
document.write("<A HREF=\"http");
document.write(":" + linkurl );
document.write( "\">" + linktext + "<\/a>");
}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
print_munged_link()
</script>
