HTML DOM createTextNode() Method
The HTML DOM createTextNode() method is used to create a Text Node with the specified text.
Example
Let us look at an example for the createTextNode() method −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h2>createTextNode() example</h2> <p>Click the below button to create a p element with some text.</p> <button onclick="createText()">CREATE</button> <script> function createText() { var x = document.createElement("P"); var p = document.createTextNode("This is a sample paragraph created with createTextNode()"); x.appendChild(p); document.body.appendChild(x); } </script> </body> </html>
Output
This will produce the following output −
On clicking the CREATE button −
In the above example −
We have created a button CREATE that will execute the createText() function on being clicked by the user −
<button onclick="createText()">CREATE</button>
The createText() method creates the <p> element by using the createElement() method of the document object and assigns it to the variable x. We then create a text node using createTextNode() with some text and assigns it to the variable p.
We then append the text node to the <p> element using the appendChild() method. Finally the <p> element along with the text node are appended to document using the document.body appendChild() method:
function createText() { var x = document.createElement("P"); var p = document.createTextNode("This is a sample paragraph created with createTextNode()"); x.appendChild(p); document.body.appendChild(x); }
