I have made a Spell Checker Sort of thing. In this code, when a user clicks on a link, a list of options appear, when selected an option, the text in the hyperlink is updated. My issue is that when I update the first word, it disappears. I am writing a sample working code for it. The words 'Link' are clickable.
