How would I "document.write" the output from the prompt, with a h1 tag, without using script tags?

although writing this would work: <h1> <script> const username = prompt('What is your name?'); document.write(username); </script> </h1>

I wanted to do this without going to the html file, and instead working with it in the js file. Is there a way to do this?

You can use a button ** and its onClick event to execute the prompt. After that get the value from the prompt and pass it the **h1 element by selecting it and change the h1 element's innerHTML value.

HTML file -->

<h1 id="#yourh1tag"></h1>
<button id="yourButton">Click me</button>

JavaScript file -->

function myFunction() {
  var person = prompt("Please enter your name");
  if (person != null) {
    document.getElementById("#yourh1tag").innerHTML =
    "Hello " + person + "! How are you today?";
  }
}

const yourButton = document.getElementById("#yourButton")
yourButton .addEventListener('onClick', myFunction);
