Last Updated : 15 Jul, 2025

The JavaScript anchor() method creates an anchor element that is used as a hypertext target that means when you use the anchor method in JavaScript the anchor method returns <a> elements with string and also returns "anchorname" as the value of "name" attribute like this:

<a name=anchorname>string</a>

 string.anchor(anchorname)
