My code always displays an extra div (grey circle) after the last number with no number in it though. Not sure why.

If I generate 10 divs from the code, I get 11 with the last div (grey circle) empty and misaligned vertically. Here's my code

var html = "";

for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i += 1) { html += "<div>" + i + "</div>"; }

document.write(html);

This code simply makes 10 div elements containing sequential numbers (1 - 10), all left-aligned. No circles or other graphic elements.

Is there some HTML and/or CSS and/or additional script that goes with this?

Same problem here. Looking at the generated HTML code I figured out, that one of my installed browser extensions (Clip to Devonthink) created the last, empty circle.

Here is the line I found in the HTML source:

<div id="cliptodevonthink-is-installed"></div>

That's a rather naughty browser extension!

I had not heard of "Devonthink" before, but perhaps this article I found on their website might help: When Chrome doesn’t like Clip to DEVONthink.

I have the same problem. For me it's the Snagit extension I use for taking screenshots:

<div id="techsmith-snagitchrome-extension"></div>
