How to create new div dynamically change it move it modify it in every way possible in JavaScript

Question

I want to create new divs as the page loads  These divs will appear as an ordered group which changes depending upon external data from a JSON file  I will need to do this with a for loop because there are over 100 divs needed   So  I need to be able to change each created div in regards to height  width  top left and so on  Yet  document getElementById  created div   style whatever does nothing  I can t even see a single new div appear  I ve set the new divs height width to 500px  background to  red   and so on  but no new divs are definitely appearing   What am I doing wrong

Have you tried JQuery  Vanilla javascript can be tough  Try using this       container-element   add   lt div gt Insert Div Content lt  div gt        container-element is a JQuery selector that marks the element with the class  container-element   presumably the parent element in which you want to insert your divs   Then the add   function inserts HTML into the container-element
