Getting value from span using javascript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 09.2010

Hello, I am trying to get the value(34.88) of a span in a CSS ussing javascript. I tried using getElementById with and without innerHtml but all that returns is null. Below is an example using the getElementById.

var s1 = document.getElementById(‘product”);

alert(s1);

I also tried the example with innerHtml and got nothing returned.

var s1 = document.getElementById(‘yfs_l10_palm’).innerHtml;

alert(s2);

Thanks

@WestWebJun 09.2010 — It must be the ordering of elements/scripts keeping the value null.

This works because the <span> element is loaded before the javascript:
[CODE]
<html>
<body>

<span id='s1'>34.88</span>

<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = document.getElementById('s1').innerHTML;
alert(s1);
</script>

</body>
</html>
[/CODE]

Thanks for the info. How can I load the span before the javascript if the page

that has the span is a new page which is the result of a search page?. The new page has the span in it.

Thanks

[CODE]window.onload = function(){
// any code you want executed after the page loads
}[/CODE]

Success!
