如何使用JavaScript针对一组标签文本检查所有“ a”元素内部文本是否匹配？

Question

I have a bunch of "a" elements on my page that hold the day of the month for a calendar. I have hidden labels, each containing a day of the month. I want to use JavaScript to check of there is a match. If there is a match, I want to add HTML nested within the a element.

Here is what I have tried, but it does not work as expected:

<span id="eventDayLabel1" class="daysClass">18</span>
<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$MainContent$Calendar2','6317')" style="color:Black" title="April 18">18</a>

$(function () {
            $('a').on('click', function (event) { event.preventDefault(); });
        });


var elemAs = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
        for (var i = 0; i < elemAs.length; i++) {


       var elemA = elemAs[i];
            var dayLabels = document.getElementsByTagName('daysClass');
            function contains(dayLabels, elemA) {
                for (var i = 0; i < dayLabels.length; i++) {
                    if (dayLabels[i].innerText == elemA.innerText) {
                        // add HTML here
                    }
                }
                return false;
            }
        }

Why doesn't this piece of code work? I've checked that the labels and a elements are being created there are matches (using inspect element in Chrome).

You aren't calling the contains() function and you're using getElementsByTagName() to get a class .

Just remove the function and the return false , and use getElementsByClassName() instead.

 var elemAs = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); for (var i = 0; i < elemAs.length; i++) { var elemA = elemAs[i]; var dayLabels = document.getElementsByClassName("daysClass"); //function contains(dayLabels, elemA) { for (var i = 0; i < dayLabels.length; i++) { if (dayLabels[i].innerText == elemA.innerText) { console.log('match'); } } //return false; //} } 

 <span id="eventDayLabel1" class="daysClass">18</span> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$MainContent$Calendar2','6317')" style="color:Black" title="April 18">18</a> <span id="eventDayLabel1" class="daysClass">18</span> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$MainContent$Calendar2','6317')" style="color:Black" title="April 18">17</a> <span id="eventDayLabel1" class="daysClass">19</span> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$MainContent$Calendar2','6317')" style="color:Black" title="April 18">19</a>
