javascript error split is not a function

I am trying to search my html for class ardiv and then search this class for span. Then i want to get value from this span element using split function, but i am getting this error:

Uncaught TypeError: paranula.split is not a function

    function hledat() {

	var divs = document.getElementsByClassName("ardiv");

	for (var i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {
		var para = divs[i].getElementsByTagName("span");
		var paranula = para[0];
		console.log(paranula);
		var parasplit = paranula.split(">");
		console.log(parasplit[1]);
	}

    }

    hledat();
<span class="hiddenid">188</span>

paranula is HTMLElement - kind of JS object, not a string. To access it as a string, use

var parasplit = paranula.outerHTML.split(">");

But if all you need it to take "188" from provided example, use 

var result= paranula.innerHTML

The ID of element is other thing - with element like this 

<span id="188" class="hiddenid"></span>

you could get "188" with

var result= paranula.id
