    {

        if(!document.getElementById('timedrpact'+i))
        {
            var ele = document.createElement("div");
            ele.setAttribute("id","timedrpact"+i);
            ele.setAttribute("class","inner");
            ele.innerHTML="hi "+i;
            output.appendChild(ele);

        }
        i++;


    }

Look at document.createElement() and element.appendChild().

var newdiv = document.createElement("div");
newdiv.innerHTML = val;
document.getElementById("showselecteditems").appendChild(newdiv);

Because you will likely encounter this in the near future: You can remove any element with this code:

element.parentNode.removeChild(element);
