# Text Ids
Give spans of text an id
Text IDs wrap text in a text field with a span with an ID that you define.
The reason for wrapping a word or phrase with a span with an ID is so you can refer to it later with JavaScript using document.getElementById(“nameID”).
For example, if your text in a text field was,
`The mouse jumped over the moon`
and you defined a text id, “mouse:nameID” then the final HTML output would be,
`The mouse jumped over the moon`
Separate each text id name and value pair with a semicolon.
Text IDs are case sensitive.
To set a text ID:
1. Select a text field and open the element options
2\. In the Text ID field enter the text you want to find and then the id to use to reference it
