var a = document.createElement(‘div’); a.id = myDiv; and var a = document.createElement(‘div’).id = myDiv;

var a = document.createElement('div');

a.id = "myDiv";

and

var a = document.createElement('div').id = "myDiv";

What is the difference between them such that the first one works and the second one doesn’t?

    Setting the id of the element does not return the element. It returns "myDiv" actually, so the var a is getting set to "myDiv" instead of the div itself.
