Javascript anchor tags follow an array-like structure. When we try to display a particular anchor tag we have to use document.anchors.innerHTML method. This method works the same as array methods which are used to display a particular element.
syntax
element = document.anchors[i].innerHTML;
Example-1
In the following example, the first anchor tag, out of 2 anchor tags, is displayed as shown in the output.
<html>
<body>
<a name="Tutor">Tutorix</a><br>
<a name="Totorial">Tutorialspoint</a><br>
<p id="anchors"></p>
<script>
document.getElementById("anchors").innerHTML =
"The first anchor element is: " + document.anchors[0].innerHTML;
</script>
</body>
</html>Output
Tutorix
Example-2
In the following example, there are 3 anchor elements in which the third element is displayed using document.innerHTML as shown in the output.
<html>
<body>
<a name="Tutor">Tutorix</a><br>
<a name="Totorial">Tutorialspoint</a><br>
<a name="Totorials">Tutorialspoint private ltd</a><br>
<p id="anchors"></p>
<script>
document.getElementById("anchors").innerHTML =
"The third element is:" + document.anchors[2].length;
</script>
</body>
</html>Output
