   Hi,

   Is there any way or any tags that can return the 'raw' link to previous/next posts? eg. http://mysite.com/post/

   Have tried various tags, but they all return .

   Am trying to put the previous/next post link in javascript.

   get_previous_post() and get_next_post() are defined in wp-includes/template-functions-links.php.

   You could use these functions, and also review previous_post_link() and next_post_link() (both of which echo instead of return) for how to obtain the links you need.

   Want to put the link in the code location.href=(link)

   Using get_previous_post() gives
   location.href=('')

   while using previous_post_link() gives
   location.href=('&laquo; <a href="http://mysite.com/link">Post title</a>')

   Have tried putting 'echo get_previous_post()' which gives location.href=('Object')

   Any ideas?

   n.b. In above post,
   Have tried various tags, but they all return .
   

   should be
   Have tried various tags, but they all return <a href="http://mysite.com/link"></a>.

   get_previous_post() returns an actual post object. With this object, you could then feed the previous post's ID to get_permalink().

   Also take a look at the arguments accepted by previous_post_link() and next_post_link() for ways to control and format the link.
