Access DIV element from JavaScript

Question

here is the following DIV structure:

<div class="demo">
    <div id="tabs">
        <div id="tabs-1"></div>
        <div id="tabs-2"></div>
</div></div>

How do I access 'tabs-2' from JavaScript?

var plot2 = $.jqplot ('tabs-2', [points], {...

This JavaScript code works fine only for the 1st-level DIV containers, e.g. 'demo'.

What about

document.getElementById('tabs-2')

?

Do you mean this? var plot2 = $.jqplot (document.getElementById('tabs-2'), [points], {... This does not work for me.

@YouKuper I don't know what is jqplot (I guess it's a library). But if you want a reference to the element, yes, use that.

@YouKuper It seems you don't need a reference to the element, you can pass only the id. Then, $.jqplot ('tabs-2', [points], {... should work. Can you give us a jsfiddle with the complete code?
