It's simple : 1_SVG is XML so to create an svg element, you have to provide it the svg namespace like this : var ns = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; var r = document.createElementNS(ns, "rect"); 2_XML doesn't support attributes object setting syntext except the style attribute, so you have two choice : r.style.width = "100px"; or r.setAttribute("width", 100); 3_I am making a serie of tutorials of things related to coding and SVG and XML are in the list, so just visit this page and comment what you want to learn and if you foolow me, I will be able to give you coding tricks everyday : https://code.sololearn.com/WIb425hnGqfl/?ref=app

You forgot to use createElementNS instead createElement
