A Step-by-Step Guide to Generating HTML Links Using JavaScript

In this tutorial, we will explore how to create a function that takes a link URL and text as parameters, and dynamically generates an HTML link element.

We will then proceed to insert the generated link into a designated container on the webpage. Let's dive into the details and learn how to create and display dynamic links using JavaScript.

1. The HTML code snippet represents a <div> element with an id attribute set to container.
2. The JavaScript code defines a function called createLink that takes two parameters: link and text.
3. Inside the createLink function, an anchor element is created using the document.createElement method.
4. The href attribute of the anchor element is set to the value of the link parameter using the setAttribute() method.
5. The text content of the anchor element is set to the value of the text parameter using the textContent property.
6. The function returns the HTML representation of the anchor element using the outerHTML property.
7. The createLink function is then invoked with the parameters 'https://example.com' as the link and 'Click me!' as the text.
8. As a result, the anchor element with the link and text provided will be inserted into the <div> element with the id container on the web page.
