    const testnet = ' https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545/';
    const walletAddress = document.getElementById('userWallet').innerText;

const web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(testnet));
var balance = web3.eth.getBalance(walletAddress); //Will give value in.
balance = web3.toDecimal(balance);

ok so i'm trying to get the users current smart chain balance to show in the console for now but when i try to grab the data of the wallet address

(which shows in an element with an ID of userWallet after they connect)

but when i try to grab the elements inner text it shows as undefined in the terminal but if i put an actual address without trying to grab but rather as a string it works correctly.

I honestly think i should get better at javascript before diving into this web3 stuff but i'm stubborn and want this to work lol.

also if anyone wants to help with a little project of mine let me know and ill see how i can contact you (i don't know if its against the rules to post my telegram here yet)
