As far as I'm aware, content place holder tags don't even get passed to the client, they're for server-side use only, so you won't be able to access them with Javascript like this.

An easy way to do this is to put a <div> tag around the place holder in your Master page, then use that tag to add your content to instead.

So in your Master page:

ASP.NET

<div id="mainContent"> <!-- add this line here -->

        <!-- main content placeholder -->
        <asp:contentplaceholder id="cphmain" runat="server" >

        </asp:contentplaceholder>


</div>

Then in the Javascript on your content page:

JavaScript

var ph = document.getElementById('mainContent');

var divtest = document.createElement('div');

divtest.setAttribute('id', 'rounddivepanel');

divtest.innerHTML = 'my new div is here';

ph.appendChild(divtest);
