Today i was writing some JavaScript and I wanted to see what was the value of a div id tag element, for example, I had this:
<div id="MyDiv"></div>
So I want to get the actual MyDiv, so in my JavaScript code I had this:
alert(this);
Then I got the pop up message with [object HTMLDivElement]
But I wanted MyDiv to show up.
In order to display MyDiv I had to tell JavaScript what part of the object I need. so it was easy, all I had to do is put a .id next to this. so my code now looks like this:
alert(this.id);
Output: MyDiv
