Check if a div does NOT exist with javascript

Question

Checking if a div exists is fairly simple

if(document.getif(document.getElementById(\'if\')){

}

But how can I check if a div with the give

Answer 1

There's an even better solution. You don't even need to check if the element returns null. You can simply do this:

if (document.getElementById('elementId')) {
  console.log('exists')
}

That code will only log exists to console if the element actually exists in the DOM.
