You could try  document getElementsByTagName  body   0  appendChild i     Now that won t do you any good if the code is running in the  lt head gt   and running before the  lt body gt  has even been seen by the browser  If you don t want to mess with  onload  handlers  try moving your  lt script gt  block to the very end of the document instead of the  lt head gt

You can appendChild to document body but not if the document hasn t been loaded  So you should put everything in   window onload function          your code     This works or you can make appendChild to be dependent on something else like another event for eg   https   www w3schools com jsref tryit asp filename tryjsref doc body append  As a matter of fact you can try changing the innerHTML of the document body it works
