Its because you are trying to get the element with a different id than you set to it.
newElement.setAttribute("id", 'updateCC' + itemCount); // -> Here the ID you are setting is: 'updateCC0'
itemCount++; //Increment the count
document.getElementById('updateCCD' + itemCount) // -> Here you are trying to get the same element after increasing the itemCount, but the id itself is changed to -> 'updateCC1'

Hi:
Now that's weird, OK, so now when I try to increment the count get the same issue not found,
var itemCount = 0;
var newElement = document.createElement('div');
newElement.className="dialog-form";
newElement.setAttribute("id", 'updateCC' + itemCount);
itemCount++; //Increment the count
or
itemCount += 1;
Thanking You In Advance;

newElement.setAttribute("style","display:none;");

I have a question, I have been working on this all day with setAttribute() method. The research and reading I have the done the
below code should work. I ran into an issue which forces me to have to create unique ids for an element.
var itemCount =0;
var newElement = document.createElement('div');
newElement.setAttribute("id", 'updateCC ); //This works fine when I do the following test
if(document.getElementById('updateCC')){
//do stuff
alert("Found it updateCC" );
}
else {
alert("Not found updateCC" );
}
Found
but when I do the following
newElement.setAttribute("id", 'updateCC' + itemCount);
The previous test fails, I even tried
if(document.getElementById('updateCCD' + itemCount)){
//do stuff
alert("Found it updateCC" + itemCount);
}
else {
alert("Not found updateCC" + itemCount);
}
It will give me the count but it still fails saying Not found
My documents(books) and Google searches, it should work.
What am I missing here.
Thanking You in Advance, I work on this all day and it has put me at a stand still.
