I've been looking all over the world.
All I see is samples alerting hello world
I don't want to alert hello world.
I want to print a simple website saying hello world.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body id="home">
<script>
//print hello world
</script>
</body>
</html>
Does javascript have a print mand?
Here are typical samples on the web

console.logis that you want to get accustomed to for testing purposes. There is no 'printing' on the page as the page itself consists of elements which you need to refer to. – Dellirium Commented Jan 5, 2017 at 10:20 - javascript.info/tutorial/hello-world – Nagaraju Commented Jan 5, 2017 at 10:22
- You'll need to define what you mean by "print" - for most people "print" means, "send to a printer", which doesn't seem likely. Every language uses a different term for what(whatever) you are trying to do. – fdomn-m Commented Jan 5, 2017 at 10:39

Reset to default 4You could append a Text node to the body.
document.body.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Hello World!'));In JS code you don't 'print' to the screen. Instead you amend the properties of the HTML elements in the DOM.
To do what you require you can retrieve the #home element then set its text. Either of the below will work for you:
// POJS
document.getElementById('home').textContent = 'hello world';
// jQuery
$(function() {
$('#home').text('hello world');
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body id="home">
<script>
document.getElementById('home').textContent = 'hello world';
</script>
</body>
</html>In JavaScript Write some text directly to the HTML document Use document.write();.
like below.
<script>
document.write("Hello World!");
</script>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script>
document.write("Hello World!");
</script>
</body>
</html>You can use:
document.write("hello world");
but I will not remend it (for more information look here).
You can use this instead:
document.getElementById("home").textContent = "hello world";
console.log("Hello World!")
