how to I add a class to an element created with javascript?

Question

I am trying to add a class to a div I create with javascript. I could append it inside another div with a class. This is the line of code in question.

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

I have tried using, the code below, but I get instead of a class this, "is[object, object]"

  var car_storage = document.createElement('div'{className: 'car_storage_cont'});

Please help.

You need to access className property. It is a string and you need to concatenate to it the new class's name.

car_storage .className += ' car_storage_cont';
