How to append text from array in paragraph in javascript?

How to append paragraph with text from array?

First I put element in array:

var iminja = [];
iminja.push("Name1");

Then I use for loop for each element in array "iminja" where I want to put new paragraph to existing empty div with the text from the array. Something like this, which is just to explain you how I want to be the final result in function: 

$('#existingDiv').append('<p style="border: 1px solid black;">iminja[index]</p>');

Can someone help me for this?

To iterate over an array you can use forEach:

iminja.forEach(addp);

This will call addp() for each element in iminja. This is how you can implement that function:

function addp(str)
{
    var par = document.createElement('P');
    par.setAttribute('style', 'border: 1px solid black');
    par.appendChild(document.createTextNode(str));

    document.getElementById('existingDiv').appendChild(par);
}

It creates a new <p> element, specifying the text contents and required style, and then appends that to your existing element container.

$('#existingDiv').append('<p style="border: 1px solid black;">'+iminja[index]+'</p>');

NOT

$('#existingDiv').append('<p style="border: 1px solid black;">iminja[index]</p>');

The following code should do the trick:

$.each(iminja, function () {
    $("#existingDiv").append("<p style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">" + this + '</p>');
});

or not using $.each function 

for (var item in iminja) {
   $("#existingDiv").append("<p style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">" + iminja[item] + '</p>');
}

or without using jQuery at all

var container = document.getElementById("existingDiv");
for (var item in iminja) {
    var paragraph = document.createElement("p");
    paragraph.setAttribute("style", "border: 1px solid black;");
    paragraph.innerHTML = iminja[item];
    container.appendChild(paragraph);
}
