item.appendChild is not a function

I know this is a very common error but I have read and read and can't figure it out why. It's probably something very easy but I can't solve it by myself.

var item = document.createElement(div).className = item;

var img = document.createElement(img).src = imgpath + $(this).attr(href);;

item.appendChild(img);

Any help is appreciated!

EDIT:

var item = document.createElement(div);

item.className = item;

var img = document.createElement(img);

img.src = imgpath + $(this).attr(href);

item.append(img);

This throws the same error.

In your case you are creating a div and assigns it a class name, and the same value(class name) is assigned to the item variable. So it is a string value which does not have the appendChild method.

var item = document.createElement(div);

item.className = item;

var img = document.createElement(img);

img.src = imgpath + $(this).attr(href);;

item.appendChild(img);

The same concept applies to img also
