            var cols = 30;

            function drawGrid(){
                for(var i=0; i<rows; i++){
                    for(var j=0; j<cols; j++){
                        cell.y+=cell.height;
                        cell.x+=cell.width;
                        cell.draw();
                    }
                }


            }

            setInterval(drawGrid,1);

This is the output:The grid so far I want it to fill the screen with rectangles.. Please help!:)

If you're just trying to draw a grid of boxes, I'd recommend this:

var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");

//change these if you dont want to fill the whole canvas
var h = c.height; //height of grid 
var w = c.width;  //width of grid

var div=20; //box size

for(i=0; i<h/div+1; i++){
  //Horizontal Line
  ctx.moveTo(0,i*div);
  ctx.lineTo(h,i*div); 
  //Vertial Line
  ctx.moveTo(i*div,0);
  ctx.lineTo(i*div,w);
}
