My situation
var domElements = document.body.getElementsByTagName('*');
Now I want to return the array item key - position of the element in the array - ( for example domElements[34]
) searching in the array for the element with id="asd"
.
How can I achieve this?
What if instead of ID I want to search trough class="asd hey"
?
Any help appreciated, thank you!
NB: Not in jquery, I need it in pure javascript in this case
Try like this
var matches = document.querySelectorAll("#asd");
If you wanna search by class
var matches = document.querySelectorAll(".asd");
If you wanna index of your code
try like this
var domElements = document.body.getElementsByTagName('*');
for(var i=0;i<domElements.length;i++){
if(domElements[i].id==="asd"){
// search by id
// index i
}
if(domElements[i].className==="asd"){
// search by class
// index i
}
}
Edit
There another way you can find index
try like this
var domElements = document.body.getElementsByTagName('*');
var domList= Array.prototype.slice.call(document.body.getElementsByTagName('*'));
var itemList = Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll(".asd"));
console.log(domList.indexOf(itemList[0])) // if you wanna find one index
//if you wanna search all index of class
for(var i=0;i<itemList.length;i++)
console.log(domList.indexOf(itemList[i]))
Not literal code but if you iterate over the dom elements
for (var i = 0; i < parentElement.children.length; i++) {
var item = parentElement.children[i];
if (item.getAttribute('id') === 'asd') {
return i;
}
}
This has the assumption that instead of selecting ALL DOM elements, you simply select the parentElement
of your list of elements - this approach is more logical and certainly a lot more efficient.
