	<ol id="parent">
		<li>List Item 1</li>
	</ol>

	<script>

		// Define the addItem() function
		// to be called through onclick
		function addItem() {

			// Get type of element from form
			let type = document.
				getElementById("type").value;

			// Get the text/value for the tag
			// from the form
			let value = document.
				getElementById("value").value;

			// createElement() is used for
			// creating a new element
			type
				= document.createElement(type);

			// Use value as textnode in this example
			type.appendChild(
				document.createTextNode(value));

			// Append as child to the parent
			// tag i.e. ol
			document.getElementById(
				"parent").appendChild(type);
