You can try to run the following code to implement document.anchors property in JavaScript −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>JavaScript Example</title> </head> <body> <p> <a href="/java/index.htm">Java</a><br> <a href="/php/index.htm">PHP</a><br> <a name="Ruby Tutorial">Ruby</a><br> <a name="WordPress Tutorial">WordPress</a> </p> <script> var num1 = document.links.length; var num2 = document.anchors.length; document.write("How many links? "+num1); document.write("<br>How many anchors? "+num2); </script> </body> </html>
