no your code returns the element not the content document.getElementById("a").innerHTML is the right do that code actually innerHTML needs string

your id is not right. put "" around your id and then use it. also there is an error in your script code. your line after script tag is wrong you can do it as like following <h1 id="q"> hi </h1> <script type="text/javascript"> var a = document.getElementById("q"); alert(a); </script>

you said right zeeshan it should be "" but that's not the problem it runs even without that they are optional provided the value doenot contain space problem is use of. element instead of element.innerHTML
