I recommend that you use jQuery for this  as it makes the process much easier  Here are some examples using jQuery      div id   append   lt a href      url      gt     text     lt  a gt       If you need a list though  as in a  lt ul gt   you can do this      div id   append   lt ul gt     var ul      div id  gt  ul     ul append   lt li gt  lt a href      url      gt     text     lt  a gt  lt  li gt

One more variation wrapped up nicely where setAttribute isn t needed   There are 3 lines that wouldn t be needed if Wetfox could dry off   var saveAs   function  filename  content        if filename     undefined  filename    Unknown txt       if content     undefined  content    Empty         let link   document createElement  a        link style display    none      because Firefox sux     document body appendChild link      because Firefox sux     link href    data application octet-stream     encodeURIComponent content       link download   filename      link click        document body removeChild link      because Firefox sux      Thanks for the help
