Plus, what happens if you have:

<div id="bam" />

<span id="bam" />

What if you need to retrieve the span tag? If it's checking #bam first,
won't it only find the <div /> element?


The DOM2 has this to say:

getElementById introduced in DOM Level 2
    Returns the Element whose ID is given by elementId. If no such element
exists, returns null. Behavior is not defined if more than one element has
this ID.

I would think that the first one the browser finds is selected, but I can't
be certain of that as I've never actually tried to do this.
