HTML | DOM Span Object
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.
