document.getElementById() VS. getElementById()

Question

It is common for me to register javascript functions for certain events by doing something like:

myBtn.Attributes.Add(\"onClick\", \"Validate(getElementById(         


        

Answer 1

You should use the full document.getElementById(). If you find that too verbose, you could use jQuery:

$('#' + id)

or you could create an alias at the top of your script:

var byID = document.getElementById;
