Access link

Hello

Is it possible to access a link with getElementById
I have tried the following but doesn't work

<a href="1.cfm" id="t" onclick="alert(document.getElementById('t'))">L</a>

Well, I tried your code and works.

You're alerting the anchor element itself, when presumably you want to get a property of it, such as the href attribute or its innerHTML?

As an aside, why would you want to use that code anyway? It's way over-complicated for the job at hand when you can use "this", e.g:

<a href="1.cfm" id="t" onclick="alert(this.href);">L</a>
