creating an id SOLVED with thanks in the last post.

How do you create an id for an element? I successfully created a paragraph with: var newLink = document.createElement('p'); //create paragraph and tried (unsuccessfully) to create an id with: newlink.setAttribute('id', 'noSug'); What's the right way?

When you created the paragraph, you have newLink as the var name. When you go to set the attribute, you have newlink(L is not cap). Try changing that and see if it works.

Rather than setAttribute, set the id property of the element.

Rather than setAttribute, set the id property of the element.

newLink.id='noSug'

Lots of good advice. Thank-you for your help Don E, Ingolme, and eTianbun. Sorry it took so long to thank you. I was out for a couple days.
