Problem with items.push - need string but getting object Object

This is part of my code. Maybe it is a little implicity but problem is easy to localize, i think. I want variable notions to be something which when i add this i will add words of notions, not object Object like i have now. With this code i see that it makes good $link as my links but i can't combine it to one <span> element or something which could i use as notions variable when i am pushin items by items.push:

  $.each(data, function(index, value) {
        var notions = [];                           
        var tags = data[0].extras.tags.replace(/[\[\]]/g, '').spli开发者_开发问答t(', ');
        var id = data[0].pk
        $.each(tags, function(i,v){
             var tag = v.match(/<Tag:\s(.*)>/);
             if(tag !== null){
                 var href = '/notion/';
                 var $link = $('<a/>').attr('href', href+tag[1]).text(tag[1]);                                                           
                 notions = notions + $link + '&nbsp;&nbsp;'; 
                 console.log($link); 
             }
         });        

         items.push('<li style="border: 1px solid black; list-style-type: none" ' + 'id="' +         value.pk + '"' + 'name="' + value.fields.depth + '">' +
          '&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="zero">()</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;' +                                
          '<a href="' + value.extras.get_absolute_url_for_user + '">' + 
          '<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Liberation San; font-size: 125%">' +  value.fields.title + '</span></a> <br />' +                                
          '<a href="' + value.extras.get_my_url + '">' +
          '<p style="vertical-align: middle; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">' +
          '<img style="cursor: pointer; vertical-align: middle" src="' + MEDIA_URL + 
          'own/i2.png" title="Show this in 1"></a>' +
          '<img class="delete_item" name="' + value.pk + '"' + 
          '" style="cursor: pointer; vertical-align: middle" src="' + MEDIA_URL + 
          'own/minus.png" title="Delete this">' +                                
          '<img class="get_item_form" name="' + value.pk + 
          '" style="cursor: pointer; vertical-align: middle" src="' + MEDIA_URL + 
          'own/plus.png" title="Add item">' + 
          notions +                               
         '</p></li>'); 
         $( '<ul/>', { html: items.join('') } ).insertAfter( nevermind );

    });

You're creating an object with $('<a/>') then adding it to notions. If you want the string, try getting the html of the object you created. That mess in items.push is illegible.
