DOM Changing elements

 
 <div id='countries'> 
  <div id='fr'>
	<div>France</div>
	<img src='/flags/fr.gif'/>
  </div>
  <div id='fi'>
	<div>Finland</div>
	<img src='/flags/fi.gif'/>
  </div>
 </div>

In these examples the web page contains the following content.

<div id='countries'> 
 <div id='fr'>

<div>France</div> <img src='/flags/fr.gif'/>

 </div>
 <div id='fi'>

<div>Finland</div> <img src='/flags/fi.gif'/>

 </div>
</div>

Create Content

You can create a div element an set the content.

We use the document method createElement and the DOM node method append

let e = document.getElementById('countries');
e.style.background = 'pink';

let e = document.getElementById('countries');
e.style.background = 'silver';

Create img

You can create a img element an set the src. In this example you must set the src and the style of the new element a.

a.style = 'width:100px;border:solid;';

These are CSS properties.

let a = document.createElement('img');
a.src = '/flags/fr.png';
document.body.append(a);

let a = document.createElement('img');
a.src = '/flags/fr.png';
a.style = 'width:100px;border:solid;';
document.body.append(a);
