Accessing the ID of a tag?

[WollyWog]

Hi, How do I access a tag's ID with the GetElmentBy method?

Shouldn't this: "document.getElementsByTagName('div').id;"

work?

<div id="example"></div>

document.getElementById('example');

getElementsByTagName() always returns a NodeList, so you need to specify which node in the NodeList you want to deal with.

For example, you can do this:

alert(document.getElementsByTagName('div')[0].id);

Hey Kravitz thanks a lot for your reply, I didn't realize that it would always return a Nodelist but I guess it would make sense! Very handy to know that!

Cheers
