I just wanted to get this div ID value b: div#map. console.log(map.b) doesn't print div#map is my syntax incorrect?

Chrome (or whatever browser you're using) is probably providing a condensed representation of the object at the point that you log map. My guess is that map.b is returning the DOM element itself, but I can't tell unless you share what console.log(map.b) is returning. If it is returning a DOM element that has an ID, then you could just call map.b.id to get what you're looking for.
