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.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body style="text-align:center">
<h1 style="color:green; font-size:38px;">
GeeksForGeeks
</h1>
<h2>DOM span Object</h2>
<p>A computer science portal for
<span id="span" style="color:green;">geeks</span>.
</p>
<button onclick="Geeks()">Click Here!</button>
<p id="p"></p>
<script>
function Geeks() {
let x = document.getElementById("span").textContent;
document.getElementById("p").innerHTML = x;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
