I have a variable which contains 3 tag names which are separated from each other by a “,” character. I want to split them appart with .split() function and then create and append 3 elements to the document body.

<head>
<style>
div { height:500px; width:500px; background:#F00; float:left}   
span{display:block; float:right}   
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

var element= div,p,span;    
var j=element.split(',')

for(i=0;i<j.length;i++){            
    var crt=document.createElement(j[i])
}

document.body.append(crt)

</script>    
</head>    
<body>
</body>

    Your ‘element’ variable needs to be a string. You need to use appendChild() rather than append(), and the appendChild() call should be inside your loop:

    var element = "div,p,span";
var j = element.split(',');
var crt;

for(var i = 0; i < j.length; i++) {
    crt = document.createElement(j[i]);
    document.body.appendChild(crt);
}
