HTML DOM blockquote object
The HTML DOM blockquote basically represent the HTML element <blockquote>. The <blockquote> element does not add any quotation marks unlike the <q> tag. We can create and access <blockquote> properties with the help of the blockquote object.
Syntax
Following is the syntax for −
Creating the blockquote object −
var x = document.createElement("BLOCKQUOTE");
Example
Let us see an example of the blockquote object −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p>Click on the below button to create a blockquote object</p> <button onclick="createBloc()">CREATE</button> <script> function createBloc() { var x = document.createElement("BLOCKQUOTE"); var t = document.createTextNode("This is a random block quote.This is some sample text."); x.setAttribute("cite", "http://www.examplesite.com"); x.setAttribute("id", "myQuote"); x.appendChild(t); document.body.appendChild(x); } </script> </body> </html>
Output
This will produce the following output −
On clicking CREATE −
In the above example −
First, we have created a button CREATE to call createBloc() function.
<button onclick="createBloc()">CREATE</button>
The function createBloc() uses the createElement() method of the document object to create a <blockquote> element. Then using the createTextNode() method of the document object we created a text node with some text inside it. Using the setAttribute() method we add some attributes like cite, and id to the above created <blockquote>element. The element is then finally appended as a child to the document body using its appendChild() method.
function createBloc() { var x = document.createElement("BLOCKQUOTE"); var t = document.createTextNode("This is a random block quote.This is some sample text."); x.setAttribute("cite", "http://www.examplesite.com"); x.setAttribute("id", "myQuote"); x.appendChild(t); document.body.appendChild(x); }
