This code is for the purpose of replace content inside a div using ?sub=1 as a trigger.
I'm pretty new to the javascript world, I created this code but I'm missing something, and I can not figure out what
If sub is =1, change the content inside the div to "other content"

var url = new URL(window.location);
var sub = url.searchParams.get("sub");

if(sub == 1) {
    document.getElementById("element").innerHTML = "<span>Something</span>\n<div>Something</div>"
}

<div id="element">Content</div>

Where in your html document is the javascript, respective to the div element, you are trying to change? – Taplar Jul 20 '18 at 17:12
Open up the developer console and look for the error(s) – epascarello Jul 20 '18 at 17:13

`sub` will be a string so you should change the if to `if(sub === "1") {` – epascarello Jul 20 '18 at 17:17

@epascarello That's not the problem, the above code works as well. `1` is converted to a string upon computation. – bool3max Jul 20 '18 at 17:19
