I'm fetching <li> element like:

document.getElementById('cities-drop').children[0].toString()

result is: [object HTMLLIElement]

Is it possible with pure JS get result as:

li 

or

<li>

without overriding toString() method?

var el = documnet.getElementById('cities-drop').children[0];
console.log(el.tagName); // li

I believe you're looking for .tagName.
