Can You help me find out how to use the html button element in JavaScript because

 document.write("<body> <div> </div> </body>")

is not working for buttons or drop down menus so can you help me? my guess is the

 .write

Is the problem because that probably means text and a button is not text.

  • I would stop using document.write it has been surpassed by many much more useful manipulation methods. Commented Feb 22, 2021 at 16:59

This is not the most correct way to do this. You must create elements and add them to the DOM tree.

let button = document.createElement('button'); document.body.append(button); button.onclick = () => { alert('button clicked'); }

I think you want append(). This example is stolen from this MDN page

let parent = document.createElement("div") let p = document.createElement("p") parent.append(p) console.log(parent.childNodes) // NodeList [ <p> ]
