> I have a question so simple you'll probably smack me for asking, but if I'm creating a link using DOM / Javascript how do I append text to the link? I was trying to use appendChild but that was only adding text after the link, and not as the link text itself. I even used the DOM Inspector and after doing that, the structure looked the same as in a page where the text was part of the link. Thanks for your help!
You need to use createTextNode:
function addTextNode()
{
var newtext = document.createTextNode(" Some text added dynamically. ");
var para = document.getElementById("p1");
para.appendChild(newtext);
}
