    @sias11913 we'll need to see more, but you can try this example if it helps you out:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    <script>
    var response = prompt("what's your favorite website?");
    document.body.innerHTML = '<a href="' + response + '" >Click here to go to your favorite website</a>';
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Have you checked that your selector works? Console.log it and see if it returns the correct element.

    I have sometime debugged code for like 45min and then realised that my selector was missin a dot or something.. :D

    It's quite hard to help you if you don't give us enough information...

    Where is this challenge? Like some random website, CodeAcademy...link to it would be nice.

    Share your code. Not just a tiny bit about it. Share some information. Paste it to codepen or somewhere as a whole.

    Is there some other files aswell? I bet those 3 lines aren't the only ones doing something...

    If you want to ask something, do it properly. Or go to StackOverflow.

    Still need help? It's easy though people gave you many good ways to do it you just didn't take the time to try.
    <a id="favorite-website"></a>

    And in JS you also change the attribute href.

    Document.getElementById(...).setAttribute ('href', url);

    @sias11913 So you need to complement the assignment to innerhtml to create a link instead of just text.

    Lookup the syntax for the <A href tag and just concat together a valid anchor element and your done.

    @sias11913 You are demanding quite a lot since its a challenge you are supposed to do ;)

    Maybe you should try to read a little and do some easier tutorials then.

    So you come to devRant to let someone else do your admission exercises for a $14 000 code bootcamp.

    Just don't try to get there. Save 13k and do some online courses.

    @sias11913 what you are asking for is very easy, and people gave you many answers, told you what to look for and where, and still you don't know how to get all this together.. @okkimus is right, go save some money and start by learning how to read some docs

    I don’t want the answer I want to understand the proper syntax

    It is a very easy task, and if you cannot solve it by yourself, you clearly don't deserve the bonus points. You are basically cheating on this assignment by asking others for help
