# getHtmlElement

**Note:** Usually it is not necessary to get the Html element itself. Make sure there is no better way to do the things you want to do by using the brixxApi functions!

### Example Usages

```javascript
   let myField = brixxApi.getHtmlElement("myFieldId");
   myField.disabled = true; // just for demonstration. Please use brixxApi.setFieldEnable("myFieldId", false) instead
```
