You can set a JavaScript variable to any value you like, including a reference to any DOM object. However, JavaScript variables are not objects themselves, so you can't set a variable to a reference to another variable.

You can only set a variable using = or +=. Once you set the value, it stays exactly the same until you set it to something else.
