Why Won't Fields be Populated in Select Box?

Time:04-26

Desired result: https://jsfiddle.net/nstruth/t0dopzav/1/

The HTML is displaying when I select Volvo, but the JavaScript isn't running. I looked at other innerHTML JavaScript questions, but I'm confused. As you can see in this JSFiddle the units aren't populating but I can enter numbers in the input field. https://jsfiddle.net/nstruth/ksgwaqc8/8/

// In your Javascript (external .js resource or <script> tag)
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#cars2").select2();
});

//Distance Math

var units = [
  ['Inches', 0.025400000000000],
  ['Feet', 0.30480000000000000],
  ['Furlongs', 201.168]
];
var selectors = document.querySelectorAll('.newClass1');

for (var i = 0; i < units.length; i  ) {
  for (var j = 0; j < selectors.length; j  ) {
    var option = document.createElement('option');
    option.value = units[i][1];
    option.textContent = units[i][0];
    selectors[j].add(option);
  }
}

function calcLength1() {
  var SpecialValue = document.getElementById("lengthInput1").value * document.getElementById("lengthCalc1").value / document.getElementById("lengthCalc2").value;
  document.getElementById("lengthInput2").value = SpecialValue.toFixed(12);

}

function calcLength2() {
  var SpecialValue = document.getElementById("lengthInput2").value * document.getElementById("lengthCalc2").value / document.getElementById("lengthCalc1").value;
  document.getElementById("lengthInput1").value = SpecialValue.toFixed(12);
}

function myFunction(event) {
  var x = document.getElementById("myDIV");
  //here you are picking the selected option item
  var y = $('select#cars2 option:selected').val();
  switch (y) {
    case '1':
      x.innerHTML = `<p>From:</p>
                                    <select style="float:left" id="lengthCalc1"  oninput="calcLength1()" onchange="calcLength1()">

      $(".js-example-basic-single").select2();
      break;
    case '2':
      x.innerHTML = "<p>Roy!</p>";

I solved my problem with display:none and jQuery. This fiddle shows what I did. https://jsfiddle.net/nstruth/482sgxcu/9/
