I have an SVG that I want to add in every div displayed on the screen using a for loop.
SVG:
<div class='cart'>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" width="256" height="256" viewBox="0 0 256 256" xml:space="preserve">

<g style="stroke: none; stroke-width: 0; stroke-dasharray: none; stroke-linecap: butt; stroke-linejoin: miter; stroke-miterlimit: 10; fill: currentcolor; fill-rule: nonzero; opacity: 1;" transform="translate(1.4065934065934016 1.4065934065934016) scale(2.81 2.81)" >

</g>
</svg>
</div>let cartSVG = document.querySelector('.cart');
for (let i =0; i < 10; i++) {
var productPriceDisplay = document.createElement('div');
productPriceDisplay.setAttribute('class', 'productPrice');
productPriceDisplay.appendChild(cartSVG);
}
So I first create this element in HTML and using CSS , display it to none, so that users can’t see it on screen.
Then, I use Javascript to get it’s ID and append it to the all the divs using a for loop but that only adds it to the last div only.
I can’t think of anything other than this method nor did I found any to display an SVG like this.

From MDN documentation on
Node.appendChild():"If the given child is a reference to an existing node in the document, appendChild() moves it from its current position to the new position."
In your code, you have one instance of
cartSVG, so every time you try appending it to a newproductPriceDisplay, it actually just moves the SVG from the previous div. As a result, at the end of your for loop, the SVG will only be on the last div.The solution is to clone your SVG each time you want to add it to a new div using
Node.cloneNode(). So your JavaScript should look something like this:Or the modern way, Web Components are supported in every modern browser:
