Thanks Matt. I was planning to use same element id/name on different <div>
in the html. I guess I'll scratch tht idea and do what you suggested.

The following should work fine:

document.getElementById('elemInMyDiv');

If you this is an issue because you are creating elements with duplicate
ID
names, it is allowed but considered bad practice. I would recommend
adding
a counter of something similar so that all the "id" attributes are unique.
When you want to group elements together using an attribute, use "class"
or
"name" - keep ID unique and your life will be a lot easier.

That all said, if you want to dig out a specific element within a DIV, it
can be done but it is a little extra work. You would have to loop through
all the elements until you find the one with a matching ID. Having a
unique
ID for each element is usually a much simpler way of handling things.

Do anyone know how I can use js to get DOM element within a <div>. I
tried
below but it does not work:

var myDiv = document.getElementById('myDiv');
alert(myDiv.getElementById('elemInMyDiv').value);
