Javascript: Creating self-closing img tag?

[Tarzan]

I'm trying to dynamically create an img tag with the "createElement" function.
However the result comes out like this:

<img src="target" alt="noimage">

but of course, I would like the tag to be closed:

<img src="target" alt="noimage" />

Is this possible to do with createElement? Or is there another function I should use?

Hmm I'm not sure but you could just do something like this...

document.getElementById(parentElement).innerHTML = "<img src="target" alt="noimage" />";
