Change an element based on id

If the element you want to change has an id you can use getElementById

• The html above has a div with di "countries"

Change the countries div to have silver background color.

let e = document.getElementById('countries');
e.style.backgroundColor = 'pink';

let e = document.getElementById('countries');
e.style.backgroundColor = 'silver';

Find an element and change it
