I'm trying to create a 16 by 16 grid by using DOM manipulation and the dynamically created divs aren't showing up. I tried assigning a background-color but it didn't work.
const container = document.querySelector('.container');
let k = 1;
for (let i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < 16; j++) {
let newDiv = document.createElement('div');
newDiv.style.display = 'flex';
newDiv.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
newDiv.id = k++;
container.appendChild(newDiv);
}

</html>It is because the divs are adding but they are empty, add something to the div to see them appear...
const container = document.querySelector('.container');
let k = 1;
for (let i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < 16; j++) {
let newDiv = document.createElement('div');
newDiv.style.display = 'flex';
newDiv.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
newDiv.id = k++;
newDiv.textContent = "x";
container.appendChild(newDiv);
}
}<div class="container"></div>Or you can also add height to see them appear...
const container = document.querySelector('.container');
let k = 1;
for (let i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < 16; j++) {
let newDiv = document.createElement('div');
newDiv.style.display = 'flex';
newDiv.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
newDiv.id = k++;
newDiv.style.height = "5px";
container.appendChild(newDiv);
}
}<div class="container"></div>
