Using The id Attribute in JavaScript

JavaScript has the capability to execute tasks tailored to a particular element through its id attribute.

This is facilitated by the getElementById() method, enabling JavaScript to target and interact with specific elements based on their unique identifiers.

Example

Leverage the id attribute in JavaScript to dynamically alter text content.

<script>
function displayResult() {
  document.getElementById(“myHeader”).innerHTML = “Have a nice day!”;
}
</script>
