JavaScript - How to fix the .innerHTML is not a function error

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to fix the .innerHTML is not a function error in JavaScript.

In JavaScript, the innerHTML property is used to render the html or text inside the other html tags. for example el.innerHTML = “hello”.

The TypeError: “innerHTML is not a function” error occurs when we use a innerHTML property as a function instead of assigning a data to it.

To fix the error, use the innerHTML as a property and pass the data to it instead of calling it as a function.

Let’s see an example of how the error occurs and how to fix it:

<div id="row">Data 1</div>

Now, we can to access the above div element in JavaScript and pass some html data inside to the div element.

const element = document.getElementById("#row").innerHTML("Hello");

console.log(element);

In the above code, we are getting the error because we are using the “innerHTML” property as a function. To fix the above error use the element.innerHTML and pass the data as a string format.

const element = document.getElementsById("#row");
element.innerHTML = "Hello"
