Using Javascript to create a element and then adding it to section

Question

What I am trying to accomplish is use javascript to write a element in the section. The link element that i'm trying to add looks like this

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald&effect=neon">

As requested I've posted the entire code.:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Extra-Life Alerts</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <link href="singleAlert.css" rel="stylesheet">

    <script>
        var effect = $.url().param('effect');
        var font = $.url().param('font');
        /*
         //document.getElementById("body").innerHTML = document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=' + font + '&effect=' + effect +'">');

         //var stylesheetAdd = '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family="' + font + '"&effect="' + effect + '"">';

         $(function() {
         $('head').append('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family="' + font + '"&effect="' + effect + '""/>');
         });

         //var headID = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
         //$(headID).append('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family="' + font + '"&effect="' + effect + '"">');

         //$("#posts").className("font-effect-" + effect).style.fontFamily(font); //= 'font-effect-' + effect;
         //$("#posts").style.fontFamily(font); //= font;
         //if (font) { $('.wf-active body, .wf-inactive body, #posts, body').css('font-family', font); }

Opps think i cut and pasted out some stuff. So the only think that matters to get this google font+effects to work is that 1)you add the tag in the , 2)add the font & effect class in the section where your text is. For right now i'm manually entered it in for testing purposes. I plan to control all this via script so that the user can put the options in the url and have it work.

This is working :

    var fontLoader = function (param) {
        var link = document.createElement('link');
        link.type = 'text/css';
        link.rel = 'stylesheet';

        //link.href = 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald&effect=neon';
        document.head.appendChild(link);

        link.href = 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=' + param.family + '&effect=' + param.effect;


    };

    fontLoader({
        family: 'Oswald',
        effect: 'neon'
    });

.normal , .oswald {
   padding : 3px;
   margin  : 3px;
   color : #333;
   border : solid 1px #CCC;
   font-size : 2em;
  
}
.oswald {
 
  font-family:'Oswald';

}

<div class='normal'>Normal Style</div>
<div class='oswald'>Oswald Style</div>

Just try this code at the end of your body.
