What is anchor() Method in JavaScript ?
The anchor() method in JavaScript is a string method used to create an HTML anchor element (<a>) with the specified text (the string itself) as the visible content, and a URL specified as the method’s argument as the href attribute of the anchor element.
Syntax:
string.anchor(name)
string: The string to be displayed as the anchor text.name: The URL to be assigned to thehrefattribute of the anchor element.
Example: Here, the anchor() method is called on the str string with the URL "https://example.com" as its argument. This creates an HTML anchor element (<a>) with the text "Click here" as its content and the URL "https://example.com" as its href attribute value. The resulting anchor element is then assigned to the anchorTag variable.
Javascript
const str = "Click here";console.log(anchorTag); |
Output
<a name="https://www.w3wiki.net/javascript-typedarray-reverse-method/">Click here</a>
Note:
- The
anchor()method is rarely used in modern JavaScript programming because it directly mixes JavaScript with HTML markup, which is generally considered bad practice for code readability and maintainability.
