The DOM DList Object is used to represent the HTML <dl> tag. The Dlist element is accessed by getElementById().
Syntax:
document.getElementById("ID");<
Where “id” is the ID assigned to the “dl” tag.
Example-1:
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
< html >
< head >
< title >HTML DOM DList Object</ title >
< style >
h1,
h2 {
text-align: center;
}
h1 {
color: green;
}
dl {
margin-left: 20%;
}
button {
margin-left: 30%;
}
</ style >
</ head >
< body >
< h1 >GeeksforGeeks</ h1 >
< h2 >DOM DList Object</ h2 >
< dl id = "GFG" >
< dt >GeeksforGeeks</ dt >
< dd >A Computer Science Portal For Geeks</ dd >
</ dl >
< button onclick = "myGeeks()" >Submit</ button >
< p id = "sudo" ></ p >
< script >
function myGeeks() {
var g = document.getElementById("GFG").innerHTML;
document.getElementById("sudo").innerHTML = g;
