In the following snippet everything works as expected, but when I click Show Source Firefox produces this error:



--

[11:07:30.630] TypeError: document.getElementbyId is not a function @ http://localhost:8888/html5/native-rich-text.html:10

And Safari produces a similar error. What is causing this?

function showSource() {

  var content = document.getElementbyId(edit).innerHTML

  content.replace(/</g, '&lt;');

  content.replace(/>/, '&gt: ');

  prompt(Your Code:, content);



}



function createLink() {

  var url = prompt(Enter URL:, http://);

  if (url)

    document.execCommand(createlink, false, url);

}

<h1>Native Rich Text</h1>

<p>No textboxes here, that's a &lt;div&gt; element!</p>

<div>

  <input type=button value=Bold onclick=document.execCommand('bold', false, null);>

  <input type=button value=Italic onclick=document.execCommand('italic', false, null);>

  <input type=button value=Underline onclick=document.execCommand('underline', false, null);>

  <input type=button value=Add Link onclick=createLink();>

  <input type=button value=Show Source onclick=showSource();>

</div>

<div id=edit style=border:solid black; height: 300px; width: 400px; contenteditable=true>

  Hello!

</div>

Case sensitive: document.getElementById (notice the capital B).
