JavaScript - Child Nodes

In addition to the innerHTML property, you can also use the childNodes and nodeValue properties to get the content of an element. The following example collects the node value of an h1 element and copies it into a p element:


My First Page

Hello!



// This looks for the first child node of the identified element and gets it's value.
// The first one of having an index of 0.
let myText = document.getElementById("intro").childNodes[0].nodeValue;

// This takes that obtained value from above and puts it inside of 'demo1'.
document.getElementById("demo1").innerHTML = myText;
