// create the element
    var newLink = document.createElement("a");
    // add the URL attribute
    newLink.setAttribute("href", "http://www.w3.org/DOM/");
    // Add some text
    newText = document.createTextNode("What is DOM?");
    // Add it to the new hyperlink
    newLink.appendChild(newText);
    // Find the place to put it
    placeholder = document.getElementById("myLink");
    // add this to the DOM in memory
    placeholder.appendChild(newLink);
