html string to dom,javascript - Appending HTML string to the DOM - Stack Overflow

Quick Hack:

document.children[0].innerHTML="

QUICK_HACK

";

Use Cases:

1: Save as .html file and run in chrome or firefox or edge. (IE wont work)

Broken down with comments:

//: The message "QUICK_HACK"

//: wrapped in a header #1 tag.

var text = "

QUICK_HACK

";

//: It's a quick hack, so I don't

//: care where it goes on the document,

//: just as long as I can see it.

//: Since I am doing this quick hack in

//: an empty file or scratchpad,

//: it should be visible.

var child = document.children[0];

//: Set the html content of your child

//: to the message you want to see on screen.

child.innerHTML = text;

Reason Why I posted:

JS.do has two must haves:

No autocomplete

Vertical monitor friendly

But doesn't show console.log messages.

Came here looking for a quick solution.

I just want to see the results of

a few lines of scratchpad code, the

other solutions are too much work.
