 * I want to get a Post id from a javascript function in the post editor. I tried
   this code, but does not work for me:
 *     ```
       <script>
       function get_post_content(){
          return document.getElementById("post-"+id).innerHTML;
       }
       </script>
   
       <a href="#" onclick="get_post_content(<?php the_ID(); ?>);">Next</a>
       ```
   
 * Thank you in advance.

 * You haven’t included any parameter in `get_post_content(){ ...`;
    this should
   work better: `get_post_content(id){ ...`
