document.getElementById("main").innerHTML not working

[Tony Tech]

I have main.html, test.html and script.js in the same folder. I'm using a Python package called Eel, and that's how I'm interacting with html and Javascript. When I call function dummy() as shown below, I get a print statement from Python, which is exactly what I want, but when I change the "main" to "test" in the dummy() it doesn't print anything. Why is that? How come script.js knows about "main", but not about "test"?

main.html
<div>
<p id="main">This is from main.html</p>
<input type="submit" name="" onclick="dummy()"></input>
<div>

test.html
<p id="test">This is p tag in test.html</p>

script.js
function dummy() {
u = document.getElementById("main").innerHTML
eel.dummy(u)
}

Hi Tony,

This isn't the right forum for this question.

Likely main.html and test.html end up in two different documents, and
`document` refers to main.html. But I would try asking in the Eel Discord.
