Accessing html inside canvas

Question

I am following this tutorial chart.js and I want to access the html inside the canvas tag but I don't see any in my console, and so I can't access it. How can it be ?

Answer 1

Canvas, unlike SVG, is a bitmap write-only object. It contains no HTML. It's "write and forget".

Updates are made via complete redraw. There's nothing to see but the output.
