To get an element by tag name in JavaScript, we can use the getElementByTagName
method. This method returns an array-like object of all elements with the specified tag name (in the order they appear in the document).
Here's an example of how to use this method to get all the div
elements in a document:
index.tsx49 chars2 lines
Once you have the array-like object of elements, you can access individual elements by their index. For example, to access the first div
element:
index.tsx24 chars2 lines
It's important to note that getElementsByTagName
returns a live NodeList, which means that it's automatically updated as the document changes. Therefore, if elements are dynamically added or removed from the document, the NodeList returned by getElementsByTagName
will automatically reflect those changes.
