Dear experts, I was trying to dynamically generate DOM elements using JS.

I read from Douglas Crockford's book that DOM is very very poorly structured.

Anyways, I would like to create a number of DIVISION elements and store the reference into an array so it could be accessed later.

Here's the code

for(i=0;i<3;i++){
            var div=document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));
            var arr=new Array();
            arr.push(div);


        }

Somehow this would not work..... There is only 1 div element created. When I use the arr.length to test the code there is only 1 element in the array.

Is there another way to accomplish this.

THanks in advance
