See Question&Answers more detail:osThere are a number of different ways to do this. You could use document.createElement() to create a link element, and then inject the element into the DOM. Or you could use the .innerHTML
property of an element that you already have on the page to insert the link using text. Or you could modify the "href" attribute of an existing link on the page. All of these are possibilities. Here is one example:
Creating/Inserting DOM Nodes with DOM Methods
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.textContent = 'Link Title';
link.href = 'http://your.domain.tld/some/path';
document.getElementById('where_to_insert').appendChild(link);
Assuming you have something like this in your HTML:
<span id="where_to_insert"></span>
Creating/Inserting DOM Content with innerHTML
And another example using innerHTML
(which you should generally avoid using for security reasons, but which is valid to use in cases where you completely control the HTML being injected):
var where = document.getElementById('where_to_insert');
where.innerHTML = '<a href="http://your.domain.tld">Link Title</a>';
Updating the Attributes of a Named DOM Node
Lastly, there is the method that merely updates the href attribute of an existing link:
document.getElementById('link_to_update').href = 'http://your.domain.tld/path';
... this assumes you have something like the following in your HTML:
<a id="link_to_update" href="javascript:void(0)">Link Title</a>
