unable to inject divs into html via javaacript

I am trying to create a simple etch a sketch game. i have started by creating a function that should inject a no. of divs into the html page but when it does. not seem to inject it for some reason.

let container = document.getElementById('container');

function getGrid(gridNumber) { 
for (let i = 0; i <= gridNumber * gridNumber; i++) 
{
    const row = document.createElement('div');
    row.style.border = '1px solid red'
    container.appendChild(row).classList.add('box');
}
}

getGrid(16);


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Etch-a-Sketch</title>
    <link rel = "stylesheet" href="style.css">
    <script src="app.js"> </script>
</head>
<body>

<div class="banner"> 
    <div class="banner-text"> 
        <h1> Etch-a-Sketch </h1>
    </div>
    
</div>


<div id="container"> </div>

Either you do document.getElementById or document.querySelector, not both.

let container = document.getElementById('container');

function getGrid(gridNumber) {
  for (let i = 0; i <= gridNumber * gridNumber; i++) {
    const row = document.createElement('div');
    row.style.border = '1px solid red'
    container.appendChild(row).classList.add('box');
  }
}

getGrid(16);
<div id="container"></div>
