ViewsUsing Javascript with CSS Grid
I am trying to use a JavaScript for loop to auto-generate a 4 by 4 CSS grid. None of the grid items are appearing, except for the light blue background. I am using the appendChild() and setAttribute() functions in two separate for loops: one for rows and one for columns. HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>replit</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="grid-container" id="grid">
</div>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
JS:
const grid = document.getElementById("grid");
for(let i = 1; i < 5; i++)
{
for(let x = 1; x < 5; x++)
{
var item = document.createElement("div");
//item.setAttribute("style", "grid-area:" + i + " / " + x + " / " + i + " / " + x);
item.setAttribute("grid-column", x + " / span 1");
item.setAttribute("grid-row", i + " / span 1");
item.setAttribute("class", "grid-item");
grid.appendChild(item);
}
}
CSS:
.grid-container {
display: grid;
/*width: 50%;
height: 100%;*/
grid-template-columns: 30px 30px 30px 30px;
grid-template-rows: 30px 30px 30px 30px;
gap: 10px;
background-color: lightblue;
}
#grid-item {
background-color: blue;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px;
border-color: red;
}

In CSS change your set Attribute from class to id
item.setAttribute("id", "grid-item");
Because in css when you use # it's mean ID but when you use . its mean Class

You just have to change your css for grid-item from id selector to class selector. i.e.,
.grid-item {
background-color: blue;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px;
border-color: red;
}
