ViewsJavascript - Select element by id name
Normally I select elements with an id via document.getElementById('idName'). But apparently you can also select them by name only 'idName'. I was not aware of this until recently. I wanted to know if this is a "bad practice" to select elements by their idName? I have already used the search engine and found nothing about select by id name. So here is my question now.
console.log(idName)<div id="idName">Hello World</div>2 answers

I believe this is a bad practice because you can get yourself confused and cause conflicts with your own js variables.

I can't say it's Good or bad But
you should be very careful while using . This can cause many problems So I will recommend use in Small Projects only . (it's My personal recommendation )
Suppose Your JavaScript loads First then it will throw an error and none of the code will work
just typing in 'idName' isn’t a “short form” of document.getElementById() It’s a reference to a global variable
