Create list of web2py links using javascript

Question

I have an object in the javascript which contains id, name pairs which identify entries in my web2py 'projects' table. In the browser, I populate the view with the entries using python

{{=A('+ Create New Project', _href=URL("createProject"))}}
{{for proj in projects:}}
    {{=A(proj.name, _href=URL("showImages", vars=dict(projectId=proj.id)))}}
{{pass}}

I used json to pass the dictionary of id, names of the projects from python to javascript and now I need to implement the creation of the list of links in javascript because I need to be able to edit the list with button presses. I can access the object by

for (var id in obj){
    //id gives the project id and obj[id] gives the projectname
}

How would I create the list using the name as the text, "showImages" controller as the URL, and the project id as the request variable? Thank you

You can hardcode the link.

var link_array;
var link;
for (var id in obj){
    //id gives the project id and obj[id] gives the projectname
    link = '<a href="/application_name/contoller_name/showImages/' + id + '">'+ obj[id]+'</a>';
    link_array.push(link);
}
