To append the data to <div> element we have to use DOM(Document Object Model) manipulation techniques. The approach is to create a empty <div> with an id inside the HTML skeleton. Then that id will be used to fetch that <div> and then we will manipulate the inner text of that div.

Syntax:

document.getElementById("div_name").innerText += "Your Data Here";

Example:




<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html
  
<head
    <title>

    </title
      
    <meta charset="utf-8"
      
    <meta name="viewport"
        content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"
      
    <link rel="stylesheet" href
  
</head
  
<body
    <div class="container"
        <h1 style="text-align:center;color:green;"

        </h1
          
        <hr>
          
        <form
            <div class="form-group"
                <label for="">Enter Your Name:</label
                <input id="name" class="form-control"
                    type="text"
                    placeholder="Input Your Name Here"
            </div>
              
            <div class="form-group text-center"
                <button id="my_button"
                    class="btn btn-outline-success btn-lg"
                        type="button"
                    Add Name 
                </button
            </div
        </form
          
        <h3>List of Names:</h3>
        <div id="my_div"></div>
    </div
      
    <script>
        function append_to_div(div_name, data){
            document.getElementById(div_name).innerText += data;
        }
          
        document.getElementById("my_button")
                .addEventListener('click', function() {
              
            var user_name = document.getElementById("name");
            var value = user_name.value.trim();
              
            if(!value)
                alert("Name Cannot be empty!");
            else
                append_to_div("my_div", value+"\n");
              
            user_name.value = "";
        });
    </script>
      
</body
  
</html>

  • Before Adding the Data:
    output_before
  • After Adding the Data:
