Write current page URL into anchor tag for microdata

Question

I am trying to use jquery to write the current page's URL into an anchor tag, that I can then tag for schema.org microdata. Here's what I got so far:

<script type="text/javascript">var url = document.URL;document.write(url);</script>

This writes the current page's url onto the page, however it is not in an anchor tag, and that tag does not include the proper microdata label of: itemprop="url"

Here is an example of the anchor tag I hope to achieve:

<a href="http://example.com/product" itemprop="url" />

I've tried searching around for a solution, but I simply do not know the programming language to accomplish this task. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks - Alex
