How get the text inside a paragraph with JavaScript

Question

I am trying to get the text inside p tag

 <p id="paragraph">Some text</p>

And i want to store the text in JavaScript variable like this

 var text = "Some text";

I read that i have to add

 var text = document.getElementById("paragraph").innerHtml;

But the value of the variable is NULL or Undefined and i did also like this

 var text = document.getElementById("paragraph")[0].innerHtml;

And i had the same problem !

In your example you are using incorrect property name, must be innerHTML(note - case sensitivity HTML not Html) not innerHtml

var text = document.getElementById("paragraph").innerHTML
