Style script output within html

Time:06-08

I have the following script inside html, but the output inside html is without style.

How can I best style the script output so as it fits within the existing html structure?

I thought this may be achieved by getting the output by id, but have not figured that out.

<script>
    var myArray = [
        "<ul><p>Alef</p><p>1</p>",
        "<ul><p>Bet</p><p>2</p>"
    ];

    var randomItem = myArray[Math.floor(Math.random()*myArray.length)];

    document.body.innerHTML  = randomItem;
</script>

CodePudding user response:

Instead of setting innerHTML on the body, try creating a new element that you can then add styles to, and then adding that element to the body.

const randomItemElement = document.createElement("div");
randomItemElement.innerHTML = randomItem;
randomItemElement.style.color = "blue";

document.body.appendChild(randomItemElement);

You can also create a CSS class and set that on your element instead of setting individual properties, e.g. randomItemElement.classList.add("myClass")
