Try getting the element with the ID and check if the return value is null   document getElementById  some nonexistent id       null   If you re using jQuery  you can do       some nonexistent id   length     0

There s an even better solution  You don t even need to check if the element returns null  You can simply do this   if  document getElementById  elementId        console log  exists       That code will only log exists to console if the element actually exists in the DOM
