Syntax:

document.getElementById("ID");

Where “id” is the ID assigned to the “dd” tag.

        h1,
        h2 {
            text-align: center;
        }
          
        body {
            width: 70%;
        }
          
        dt {
            color: red;
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <h1>GeeksForGeeks</h1>
    <h2>DOM <dd> Object</h2>
    <dl>
        <dt>Geeks Classes</dt>
          
        <!-- Assigning id to dd -->
        <dd id="GFG">
