The CreateElement method and creating an element
We managed to add a message to the end of the comment section and save everything that was there before that!
However, every comment in the comment section is not just a string, but rather a separate element. Before you can add it to the comment section, you need to create this element.
To create a new element, use the createElement method:
document.createElement('tag name');To create a new element on the page where the script is included, you need to use the word document. You need to indicate the element that you want to create in quotation marks inside parentheses. For example:
// Creates a new element <div> and writes it to the variable
let newElement = document.createElement ('div');The comment section on our page is a numbered list, and each comment is a list item. Therefore, we will create the li element:
<ol class="comment-list">
<li class="user-comment">Hmmm, it's some kind of nonsense…</li>
</ol>Create a new list item and test the result: tell JavaScript to output the created element to the console.

<p>It turns out that you don’t have to be a cat to start programming in JavaScript! Scientists have created the first robot that can write and change its own code. He immediately learned how to code websites, and he left to work as a freelancer on Bali.</p>
