How to add an element to the DOM with JavaScript?
To add an element to the DOM with JavaScript, we can use the appendChild method.
For instance, we write:
const newDiv = document.createElement("div");
newDiv.appendChild(document.createTextNode("some text"));
document.body.appendChild(newDiv);
to create a new div with createElement.
Then we call createTextNode to create a new text node.
And then we append the text node as the child of the div with newDiv.appendChild.
Finally, we append the div as a child of the body element with document.body.appendChild.
