为什么我的网页显示 [object HTMLParagraphElement]？

Question

when I try to use javascript to write to an id in html, I get this: [object HTMLParagraphElement] I am using innerhtml but it still doesn't work. I looked at different answers but none seemed to help

here is my code:

 var cashs = 0;

 <p id="cashs"></p> <script>document.getElementById('cashs').innerHTML = cashs;</script>

Answer 1

Because any element in the document that contains `id' is defined in the code as a variable that indicates its element by default

<p id="a"></p>

<script type="text/javascript">
a.innerHTML="Hello";
</script>

Results:

<p id="a">Hello</p>
