I dynamically create a link to a. 'mywebsite' is a variable. Everything works but the mywebsite page replaces that of the code. I want to open mywebsite in another page. May I have a help to solve the problem ?
var mylink = document.createElement("a");
var textForButton = document.createTextNode("More details");
mylink.appendChild(textForButton);
mylink.setAttribute("href", mywebsite);
document.body.appendChild(mylink);
You should set the linke target as this:
mylink.setAttribute("target", '_blank');
Your code my be something like this
<script>
window.onload = function () {
let mywebsite = "http://www.google.com";
var mylink = document.createElement("a");
var textForButton = document.createTextNode("More details");
mylink.appendChild(textForButton);
mylink.setAttribute("href", mywebsite);
mylink.setAttribute("target", '_blank');
document.body.appendChild(mylink);
};
</script>
You can set target=_blank attribute to do this.
mylink.setAttribute("target", "_blank");
So that once you click on the link that you have generated it opens in new tab.
