How to get the current page URL using Javascript and using it in a

Question

I have a website that I want to insert in it some social buttons so users can share it on twitter and facebook. I want to get the page URL and insert it in in the share buttons.

How do I get the current page URL and use it in a <a href=""> tag or inside other parts on my HTML code?

I know about document.URL on javascript. I just don't know how to apply it on an tag.

The solution is so easy to find. Did you even try searching? — planet260, Mar 24 '15 at 13:00

document.getElementById("myLink").href = document.URL;

<a id="myLink" href="">Click me I am a link</a>

Hover your mouse over the link to see which link.
