How to create a link using JavaScript?
To create a link using JavaScript, we can use the createElement
method.
For instance, we write
const a = document.createElement("a");
const linkText = document.createTextNode("my title text");
a.appendChild(linkText);
a.title = "my title text";
a.href = "http://example.com";
document.body.appendChild(a);
to call createElement
with 'a'
to create an anchor element.
Then we call createTextNode
to create a text node.
Then we call a.appendChild
with linkText
to use linkText
as the text content of the anchor element.
We set the title
attribute by setting a.title
.
The href
attribute is set by setting a.href
.
And finally, we call document.body.appendChild
with a
to append the anchor element as the last child of the body element.
