If your element has an id, you can just reference it from the window scope. The const page = is useless. Also the body has its own reference under document: document.body replaces document.querySelector('body')

    This is brittle, as defining a global variable with the same name (or the browser adding a API with the same name) will override it. This functionality was only kept for backwards compatibility with sites designed for Internet Explorer. The spec says to use getElementById instead.
