getElementById is a build in javascript function is selects based on the id name. If you have a html element:
<canvas></canvas>
you can give a element an id:
<canvas id="MyCanvas"></canvas>
so you create the name for the element to select with getElementById. If you don’t know id’s, you might want to read a bit about them
