Javascript Shorthand for getElementById




- April 20, 2015

Rest of the Story:

In the following sample I define a variable byId and set it to the function. You can use any valid variable name in place of byId

var byId = function( id ) {   
return document.getElementById( id );   
};  
  
byId( 'someID' )  
  

With jQuery simply $('#{id}) works as well.
