This appends an image to the body:

function appendElement(){
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = 'image.png';
document.body.appendChild(img);
}

How can the same function be made also to create a <div>, so that the div 
contains the image, or for a div to be appended to the body and for the 
image to be appended to appear within the div?

Many thanks for any advise,
Tuxedo
