x = document.getElementById('table-id') // -> always returns HTMLELement
```
If you go straight to doing `var x = document.getElementById('table-id')` the variable will have the generic type `HTMLElement`.
If you go straight to doing `var x = document.getElementById('table-id')`, the variable will have the generic type `HTMLElement`... and you don't want that.
Important hint: the string parameter for `document.createElement()` (which is `'table'` in our example above) will determine the type/interface that the variable `x` will use.
The `'table'` parameter is the reason why we get an `HTMLTableElement` from `document.createElement()`.
## Uh, okay. But, uhm, why... woud I want to do that?
Well, this way, the variable `x` will have the type `HTMLTableElement` all the way in your code.
