Get input element from innerHTML string

Question

How can I get the input field from the innerHTML which is a string? getElementById does not work obviously.

div.innerHTML = "<input id=\"ValueField\" name=\"test1\" value=\"1\" type=\"hidden\">"

could you be more precise please? a jsFiddle would be useful — Guern

Try the code below:

var div = document.getElementById('div');
div.innerHTML = '<input id="ValueField" name="test1" value="1" type="hidden" />';
var input = document.getElementById('ValueField');

If you want to get it as a string this is the solution

div.innerHTML = '<input id="ValueField" name="test1" value="1" type="hidden">'
