New pages using HTML

Coding Help
1

I want it so that every time a button is clicked, a new page with a random name is generated (i. e. HuJ8a7-Op_z6.html).

How can i do that using HTML & JS?

You would need to use server side code to do this.

Wait, i think i just figured it out…

<html>
<head>
<title>Website</title>
<script>
function test() {
var opened = window.open("test.html");
opened.document.write("<html><head><title>MyTitle</title></head><body>test</body></html>");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>
<button onclick="test();">Link to new page</button>
</p>
</body>
</html>

I’ll add the randomly-generated string later,
Anyways, i need it to create a new page. However, this will just open about:blank and add the specified code in there!

Just a heads up that this will not save, but glad you figured it out.

I would recommend that you look into file creation in what server side language you prefer.

If you’re learning Node, you can start by reading the docs, it’s not as painful as some other docs

The docs should tell you if it is right or not. Did you read them?
