According to the code below:
var ul = document.getElementsByTagName('ul');
var ref = ul.item(0).children;
var saida = '';
  for (i = 0; i <= ref.length; i++) {
if (i == 0) {
	var HTMLString = "<div style='background-color: blue; width: 60px; height: 60px;'>";
    var div = document.createElement('div');
    div.innerHTML = HTMLString;
    ref[i].parentElement.insertBefore(div.firstChild, ref[i]);
}
if (i == 11) {
	var HTMLString = "</div><div style='background-color: red; width: 60px; height: 60px;'>";
    var div = document.createElement('div');
    div.innerHTML = HTMLString;
    ref[i].parentElement.insertBefore(div.firstChild, ref[i]);
}

</html>It would be possible to open the <div> before the first element <li> and close it after the 10th element <li> ??
If yes, how to do?
Obs.: According to the <script> that I created it creates the element <div> and closes in the same place ... 
I used the concept of reply of this question.
Can you explain what you want to do as a final product? Breaking ul > li syntax with Divs doesn’t sound very good.

Well, at the time of printing the page that contains these elements, they end up being printed separately on the other page, by the amount generated, then I thought of dividing these elements in
DIVs applying afloat: leftto organize them side by side, when they reach a certain amount, understands ?– Marcos Henzel
Maybe it would be interesting if I
appendChildin the items up to the desired amount for theDIVthat I created and then remove the elements that were copied ?– Marcos Henzel
