I am making a site and I need to make a .js file for a "alt nav" part on my page so that I can link all of the pages to the javascript file and have it include whatever I put in so that it will globally change every page of the site. The problem is, it needs to target paragraphs by ID, so I decided to use a createElement function that creates a paragraph so that it will automatically display. Now I need to figure out how to use the JS to automatically ID the created paragraphs, otherwise I'm defeating the purpose of this trick by going through each page to add a new paragraph for the JS to read. Any ideas? This is what my INDEX page and my JS file looks like.

Here's the JavaScript.
var i;
var out = document.getElementById("output1");
var args = ["Thursday, September 4th, 2014", "The site has been launched! The Chat page has yet to be launched, and we are now primarily focusing on transferring over games from our old hosted site, so sorry for the little games! We also have to upgrade our storage soon for more games, so please donate for a faster game time!",];
function displayArgs() {
"use strict";
for (i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
out.appendChild(document.createTextNode(args[i]));
out.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
}
}
displayArgs(args);
var i;
var out = document.getElementById("output2");
var args = ["Monday, September 15th, 2014", "The host is learning JavaScript, so be ready for a LOT of new changes!",];
function displayArgs() {
"use strict";
for (i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
out.appendChild(document.createTextNode(args[i]));
out.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
}
}
displayArgs(args);
All I want is to be able to use a create paragraph element function and also ID it by locating its tag as a P element or somehow, someway, just be able to automatically create a paragraph using a createElement function and automatically ID it as "output3", "output4". This will help alot!
not extra comma in array 'var out'
'createTextNode' works when the page is loaded.
window.onload = function() {
var i;
var document=window.document;
var out = document.getElementById("output1");
var args = ["Thursday, September 4th, 2014", "The site has been launched! The Chat page has yet to be launched, and we are now primarily focusing on transferring over games from our old hosted site, so sorry for the little games! We also have to upgrade our storage soon for more games, so please donate for a faster game time!"];
function displayArgs() {
"use strict";
for (i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
out.appendChild(document.createTextNode(args[i]));
out.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
}
}
displayArgs(args);
};
