Use of gel Function

[neetusingh]

Hi All,

Please let me know the basic purpose of gel function. Where we can use it?

Thanks!!

'gel' is simply a shortcut for 'document.getElementById', which is standard javascript. You would use it in client scripts mostly. Search the web for more info. Here's one example.

Thanks Mark for your prompt response !!

I would still require some more clarification regarding what is the basic difference between 'gel' and 'document.getElementById' and what all 'document.getElementById' can do and gel can't and vice-versa.

There is no difference. They're exactly the same except for the name.
