HTML DOM Span Object

Last Updated : 14 Jun, 2023

The DOM span object is used to represent the HTML <span> element. The span element can be accessed by using the getElementById() method.

Syntax:

document.getElementById("id");

Where 'id' is the ID assigned to the span tag.

Example 1: In the below program the content inside the span element is accessed and appended to the paragraph element.

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<body style="text-align:center">
    <h1 style="color:green; font-size:38px;">
        GeeksForGeeks
    </h1>
    <h2>DOM span Object</h2>
    <p>A computer science portal for 
          <span id="span" style="color:green;">geeks</span>.
      </p>
    <button onclick="Geeks()">Click Here!</button>
    <p id="p"></p>
    <script>
        function Geeks() {
            let x = document.getElementById("span").textContent;
            document.getElementById("p").innerHTML = x;
        }
    </script>
