Can't access object created in the view from controller

Question

Hi
In the view, I create a simple HTML control with a DIV tag.I need to access the DIV tag from the view.  The function this.getView().byId() returns nothing.
view
createContent : function(oController) {
                        var aControls = [];
                        var html = new sap.ui.core.HTML(
                                    content : "<div id='obj1' style='width: 300px; height: 200px;'></div>"
                        aControls.push(html);
                        return aControls;
controller
onInit: function() {
this.getView().byId("obj1");
Thanks.

Hi Chen,
The reason for this is the at
this.getView().byId("obj1") would only work for XML views
but for JS views
sap.ui.getCore().byId('obj1') would work
The difference between JS views and XML views is that the id's on DOM are different for JS view each control would get the same id as used in the definition but for XML views the id would get generated.
Hope this helps.
