javascript get child by id

Question

    Test
    
child

I want to change the style of the child div

Answer 1

document.getElementById('child') should return you the correct element - remember that id's need to be unique across a document to make it valid anyway.

edit : see this page - ids MUST be unique.

edit edit : alternate way to solve the problem :

    Test
    
child

then you just need the test() function to look up the element by id that you passed in.
