CreateElement with id?

Question

I\'m trying to modify this code to also give this div item an ID, however I have not found anything on google, and idName does not work. I read something about append

Answer 1

You can use Element.setAttribute

Examples:

g.setAttribute("id","yourId")

g.setAttribute("class","tclose")

Here's my function for doing this better:

function createElement(element, attribute, inner) {
  if (typeof(element) === "undefined") {
    return false;
  }
  if (typeof(inner) === "undefined") {
    inner = "";
  }
  var el = document.createElement(element);
  if (typeof(attribute) === 'object') {
    for (var key in attribute) {
      el.setAttribute(key, attribute[key]);
    }
  }
  if (!Array.isArray(inner)) {
    inner = [inner];
  }
  for (var k = 0; k < inner.length; k++) {
    if (inner[k].tagName) {
      el.appendChild(inner[k]);
    } else {
      el.appendChild(document.createTextNode(inner[k]));
    }
  }
  return el;
}

Example 1:

createElement("div");

will return this:

<div></div>

Example 2:

createElement("a",{"href":"http://google.com","style":"color:#FFF;background:#333;"},"google");`

will return this:

<a href="http://google.com" style="color:#FFF;background:#333;">google</a>

Example 3:

var google = createElement("a",{"href":"http://google.com"},"google"),
    youtube = createElement("a",{"href":"http://youtube.com"},"youtube"),
    facebook = createElement("a",{"href":"http://facebook.com"},"facebook"),
    links_conteiner = createElement("div",{"id":"links"},[google,youtube,facebook]);

will return this:

<div id="links">
    <a href="http://google.com">google</a>
    <a href="http://youtube.com">youtube</a>
    <a href="http://facebook.com">facebook</a>
</div>

You can create new elements and set attribute(s) and append child(s)

createElement("tag",{attr:val,attr:val},[element1,"some text",element2,element3,"or some text again :)"]);

There is no limit for attr or child element(s)
