Whenever i'm trying to access data of <p> tag using getElementById in js, then the data is getting accessed but when i try to change the content of <p> tag in js using .innerHTML, I'm getting error UnCaught TypeError:Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of undefined.

How can it be resolved.

Using Vanilla JavaScript

 

document.getElementById("my-id").innerHTML = "Some text";
