I was trying to create something like a terminal, and i decided to make a init function for creating the "terminal", but it gave me a error:

Uncaught TypeError: terminal.appendChild is not a function at initTerminal

here's my code:

function initTerminal(terminal, initText, prefix) {

    let textInput = document.createElement("textarea")
    let console = document.createElement("p")

    textInput.addEventListener("keypress", (e) => {

        if (e.key === "Enter") {
            e.preventDefault()
    
            let savedText = textInput.value
    
            document.querySelector(".out").innerHTML += "<br>" + `<span>${prefix} </span>` +savedText
    
            textInput.value = ""
        }
    })

    console.className = "out"

    terminal.appendChild(console)
    terminal.appendChild(textInput)
    console.innerHTML = initText
}

initTerminal("terminal", "Isaacpar Terminal 1.0 | Type 'help' to get a list of avaliable commands", "$")
