Incorporating an HTML Canvas element within a CSS grid design

I've been attempting to integrate an html canvas that I created into one of the css grid classes specified in my code. The code runs when the "Calculate" button is clicked.

Upon clicking the button, the <div> section designated for the canvas remains unchanged, but a new canvas is drawn outside the grid <div>, within the html body. Strangely, both canvases have the same id despite me assigning a unique id to each canvas element.

I'm puzzled as to why it generates its own canvas even though I've provided the correct canvas id.

Consider replacing

canvas : document.createElement("canvas")

with

canvas : document.getElementById("mycanvas")

In addition, you may be able to eliminate the following line:

myGameArea.canvas.id = "myCanvas";
