Problem creating labels to dynamically generated output

[SenTnel]

Hello!

Im having problem generating the labels for content created by the following function:

function setOutput(){
    if(httpObject.readyState == 4){
		var answer = httpObject.resultsponseText.split(",");
		var results = document.getElementById("resultsultadosScan1");
		var article = document.createElement("div");
		var weight = document.createElement("div");
		var price = document.createElement("div");
		article.className = "article";
		weight.className = "weight";
		price.className = "price";
        document.getElementById('outputText0').value = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[0];
		document.getElementById('outputText1').value = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[1];
		document.getElementById('outputText2').value = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[2];
		article.innerHTML = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[0];
		weight.innerHTML = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[1];
		price.innerHTML = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[2];
		results.appendChild(article);
		results.appendChild(weight);
		results.appendChild(price);
    }
 
}

A friend showed me this sample script to achieve generation of labels on my script, but I have been trying for hours with no luck, can someone take a look and tell me the correct usage of this script:

function crearLabel() {
    var target = document.getElementById("target");
    var label = document.createElement("label"); 
    var text = document.createTextNode("Article"); 
    label.appendChild(text);
    target.appendChild(label); 
}

Thanks a lot!

The crearLabel function you've given assumes that there is an element present with an ID attribute of "target". I don't see any reference to this anywhere, so unless you've got one stashed away on a page that you're not mentioning, it's not likely to work.

Perhaps "target" was meant to be a parameter to the crearLabel function instead of a literal string?
