can the HTML5 Canvas element be created from the Canvas constructor

Question

I would like to be able to make Canvas elements from the constructor so that I could make a function like this.

function createCanvasContext(height,width)
{
   v         


        

Answer 1

var mycanvas = document.createElement("canvas");
mycanvas.id = "mycanvas";
document.body.appendChild(mycanvas);

Answer 2

While you can do new Image() just fine, new Canvas() isn't a thing! Canvas Isn't even a thing, though HTMLCanvasElement is. Nonetheless you cannot use its constructor.

document.createElement('canvas'); is what you want. You have to use that, just like with divs.
