I am doing it wrong in JavaScript

Yeah, JS is a scripting language and not a programming language, whatever. Anyway, I've got a page where the script does the following a couple of times:

var i = document.createElement('div');
i.innerHTML = 'some text';
i.class = 'some CSS class';
document.getElementById('element already in the page').appendChild(i);

Write yourself a function that does what you want, son. It's called abstraction.

What makes you think you're not looking at the inside of a function?

function dothisonload() {
for (i to whatever) {gomakeanelement(arguments)};
}

//buncha other functions that act on user input

>>1 Since you are using the IE DOM.
Learn how to use i.insertAdjacentHTML() and i.style
Also, pick up the JavaScript pocket reference by O'Reilly so you don't need to ask questions.

use document.createTextNode and i.styleName to get cross-browser compliance
