how to get an element by name in javascript

To get an element by name in JavaScript, you can use the getElementsByName() method provided by the Document Object Model (DOM).

Here is an example code block that demonstrates how to use this method:

index.tsx
// Get the element by name
var element = document.getElementsByName("example")[0];

// Modify the element
element.style.color = "red";
element.innerHTML = "Hello, world!";
172 chars
7 lines

In this example, we use the getElementsByName() method to get the first element with the name "example". We then modify the element by changing its text color to red and setting its inner HTML to "Hello, world!".

Note that getElementsByName() returns a collection of elements with the same name, so we need to specify the index of the element we want to access (in our case, we're accessing the first element with [0]).
