Creating a div element inside a div element in javascript
I'm trying a very basic example of creating a div inside an already existing div.
It doesn't seem to be working when I use:
document.getElementbyId('lc').appendChild(element)
but works fine when I do this:
document.body.appendChild(element)
Do I need to add windows.onload function? Though it doesn't work even then!
HTML code:
<body>
<input id="filter" type="text" placeholder="Enter your filter text here.." onkeyup = "test()" />
<div id="lc">
</div>
</body>
JS code:
function test()
{
var element = document.createElement("div");
element.appendChild(document.createTextNode('The man who mistook his wife for a hat'));
document.getElementbyId('lc').appendChild(element);
//document.body.appendChild(element);
}
Answer
Your code works well you just mistyped this line of code:
document.getElementbyId('lc').appendChild(element);
change it with this: (The "B" should be capitalized.)
document.getElementById('lc').appendChild(element);
HERE IS MY EXAMPLE:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function test() {
var element = document.createElement("div");
element.appendChild(document.createTextNode('The man who mistook his wife for a hat'));
document.getElementById('lc').appendChild(element);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="filter" type="text" placeholder="Enter your filter text here.." onkeyup = "test()" />
<div id="lc" style="background: blue; height: 150px; width: 150px;
}" onclick="test();">
</div>
</body>
</html>
