The Section Object in HTML DOM is used to represent the HTML <section> element. The section element can be accessed by using the getElementById() method.

Syntax: 

document.getElementById("id")

Where id is assigned to the <section> tag.

Example 1: In this example, we will use DOM Section Object.

html




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   
<head>
    <title>
        HTML DOM section Object
    </title>
</head>
   
<body style="text-align:center;">
    <h1 style="color:green;">
        GeeksForGeeks
    </h1>
    <h2>DOM section Object</h2>
    <button onclick="Geeks()">
        Click Here
    </button>
    <br><br>
    <section id="sec">
        A computer science portal for geeks.
    </section>
   
    <script>
        function Geeks() {
            let txt = document.getElementById("sec");
            txt.style.color = "green";
        }
    </script>
</body>
   
</html>
