Accessing user-defined elements with JAvascript

[Drew630]

This seems like such an easy concept, yet, I have struggled trying to find a solution. Is there a way to access a page element such as a <DIV>, since these tags are not considered objects?

<div id="mydiv"></div>

<script language="JavaScript">
var oMyDiv = document.getElementById ( 'mydiv' );
</script>

You could also try this flexible-node retrieval function by Gazingus.

getElementsByTagName('div')[n] where n is the nth div on the screen. If you only have one div, the syntax would be getElementsByTagName('div')[0]

Thanks guys, those both did the trick.
