javascript and the dom

I'm having trouble setting the className to 'panel'.

app.js 
var contentDiv = document.getElementById('content');
var newParagraph = document.createElement('p');
p.className = 'panel';
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">
          <p class="panel"></p>  
        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

No variable named "p" has been declared. The variable created to refer to the paragraph is named "newParagraph".
