How to create an input with datalist dynamically?

Question

I'm trying to create dynamycally some datalists. My problem happen when I try to embed it in an input. I tried this code but newinput.list="DL" doesn't work. ()

var newinput = document.createElement("input");
    newinput.className="nom";
    newinput.id= file_header[i];
    newinput.type= "text";
    newinput.list="DL";

document.getElementById("head_menu").appendChild(newdiv);

Input is created but without list attributes... Can someone explain me how to link my input with my datalist?

Try what @David is saying .. it worked for me.

newinput.setAttribute('list', 'DL');
