in accessing an element with an id attribute you can use document.getElementById

HTML Code:

<p id="p1">Paragraph 1</p>
<p id="p2">Paragraph 2</p>
<p>Paragraph 3</p>

<script type="text/javascript">

var p2 = document.getElementById('p2'); // this will return the paragraph tag with the id of p2

</script>

in accessing elements by their tag name you can use document.getElementsByTagName

HTML Code:

<p id="p1">Paragraph 1</p>
<p id="p2">Paragraph 2</p>
<p>Paragraph 3</p>

<script type="text/javascript">

var paragraphTags = document.getElementsByTagName('p'); // this will return an array of all the <p> elements

</script>
