How to find if element with specific id exists or not

Question

In my JavaScript I want to check whether the element with specific id is exist or not, I tried it with 2 ways

1).

var myEle = document.getElementByI         


        

Answer 1

 var myEle = document.getElementById("myElement");
    if(myEle){
        var myEleValue= myEle.value;
    }

the return of getElementById is null if an element is not actually present inside the dom, so your if statement will fail, because null is considered a false value
