Sorry, yeah meant to write '1' there, not '0'.

OK, so given Document.getElementById() says:
Returns the Element that has an ID attribute with the given value. If
no such element exists, this returns null.

I think it should alert true.
It just seemed surprising to me that invalid IDs were effectively
treated the same as valid ones, but if that’s what’s meant to happen,
I’ll go with it.
Thanks,
Cameron
