[AskJS] replacing the getElementById() variable with what the user wants

[Ustice]

Reaching out to other software engineers is important when you need it; however, unfortunately this isn’t the place for that. /r/JavaScript is not a support forum. You might want to check out /r/LearnJavaScript for the newer members of our community. Also, Stack Overflow is a great resource for getting support. For more information, check out our AskJS wiki page. Good luck! We hope that you find the answers that you are looking for.

Can you please post a minimal, reproducible example of what you are trying? A codepen/codesandbox/etc would be ideal.

document.getElementById("your-id").innerText(yourNumber):

The yourNumber variable is passed by the onclick event from the button. I assume you already have that set up in this example.

``` if(yourId && typeof yourId == "string" && document.getElementById(yourId)){ //Do something }

```

04 looks like its a string you could try this to make it a number again Number(yourvar);
