appendChild only working once
$begingroup$
I'm trying to create a small div inside a section every time I click a button.
The section is id="grid" and the button has a simple onclick="generateGrid()"
my code:
var div = document.createElement('div');
function generateGrid() {
document.getElementById("grid").appendChild(div);
}
This works, but only once. I've tried researching the answer and several people seem to have similar but more complex situations and I'm unable to figure this out.
Basically I just want to click the button, and another div pops up within the section.
So initially it would look like this:
<section id="grid">
</section>
Then after I click the button it looks like this:
<section id="grid">
<div></div>
</section>
Then after I click the button again, it looks like this:
<section id="grid">
<div></div>
<div></div>
</section>
And so on and so forth.
Right now the first button click works great, but nothing happens after that on clicks.
Later I plan to use a loop to generate the divs based on the clientWidth but I'm starting simple =]
Is there something I need to do with the appendChild or should I be using something else completely? I've also tried playing with innerHTML but wasn't able to make that work.
Thanks!
