How to convert Element ID to Text ??

[carthik]

Hi I am a newbie to JavaScripting

I have a doubt .. How do i Convert the ElementID to String .

I have to make some string Manipulations from then

For example

If the Element Id is menu2

Then i get it using event.srcElement.id and store it in a variable x

Then I have to convert this x value to menu2text

and then I have to convert the string back to Id

so that i can use menu2text.style.background property

Is it possible .

How do i Convert the ElementID to String .

It's already a string. You don't need to do anything.

and then I have to convert the string back to Id

It's still a string, and can be used as such with document.getElementById(), which you should be using anyway.

You shouldn't access objects by their ID or name as properties of the document object.
