HTML | DOM DList Object

Last Updated : 24 Dec, 2021

The DOM DList Object is used to represent the HTML <dl> tag. The Dlist element is accessed by getElementById().

Syntax:

document.getElementById("ID");<

Where “id” is the ID assigned to the “dl” tag.
Example-1:

    <title>HTML DOM DList Object</title>
    <style>

            text-align: center;
        }
        
        h1 {
            color: green;
        }
        
        dl {
            margin-left: 20%;
        }
        
        button {
