To get the id of a canvas item in HTML5, you can set the id attribute when creating the canvas element.


For example:

1
<canvas id="myCanvas"></canvas>


You can then retrieve the id using JavaScript like this:

1
2
var canvasId = document.getElementById('myCanvas').id;
console.log(canvasId); // Outputs: myCanvas


This will retrieve the id of the canvas element with the id 'myCanvas'.
