I was wondering how can I append a space after an element in JavaScript? I am creating an image and a span in for loop, and I want to append a space after the image and after the span. Here is how I create the tags:

var image = document.createElement(img);

Since you asked for some visual whitespace - the simplest and most flexible way is applying it through CSS, not using a space character:

img {

    margin-right: 5px;

}

If you want to only apply it to the specific element you create, you can use JavaScript to apply the CSS: http://jsfiddle.net/aRcPE/.

image.style.marginRight = 5px; // foo-bar becomes fooBar since

                                 // the hyphen is not allowed in this notation
