Answer 1

Because all elements which you assigned an id are accessible also with "window.element_id" or simply "element_id"

Answer 2

Yussuf Toheeb Notice than though window.el_id works on many browser ITS NOT the proper way to handle the problem. Its an old way implemented in IE and used by other browsers also but the "official" way is use getElementById or querySelector functions

Answer 3

👍👍👍

Answer 4

Thanks

Is it now safe to use the method, I mean ID straight without getting them to a variable before using them?

Answer 5

Now I got it clearer.

Thanks KROW, I appreciate it
