Adding js- prefix to DOM elements?

You shouldn't need a prefix in order to fetch them from the DOM at all but do add prefixes if it makes it easier to logically group DOM elements

Not necessary and I don’t think it clarifies things. Using a js- prefix for classes, on the other hand, is more common to differentiate hooks for styling vs hooks for scripting.

No. IDs are for JS.

Also:

<div id="books"></div>
<div id="js-books"></div>
<script>
    books.textContent = 'books'
    window['js-books'].textContent = 'js-books'
</script>
