How to remove the first character of link (anchor text) in JavaScript?
Here, we have set “Aabout_us” and “Hhome_page” with incorrectly spellings as anchor text.
You can use substring(1) along with innerHTML to remove the first character and display them correctly as “about_us” and “home_page” respectively.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initialscale=1.0"> <title>Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fontawesome/ 4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> </head> <body> <div class="linkDemo"> <div> <a href="">Aabout_us</a> </div> </div> <div class="linkDemo"> <div> <a href="">Hhome_page</a> </div> </div> <script> [...document.querySelectorAll('.linkDemo div a')].forEach(obj=> obj.innerHTML=obj.innerHTML.substring(1)) </script> </body> </html>
To run the above program, save the file name “anyName.html(index.html)” and right click on the file. Select the option “Open with Live Server” in VS Code editor.
