Hide Anchor tag based on href URL

Question

I was wondering if there is a possibility to HIDE anchor tags that refer to a particular URL. I know there is possible to hide based on id like this with JavaScript:

 document.getElementById('someID').style.display = 'none'; 

 <a href="#" id="someID" style="display: none">Check</a> 

But let's say I want to hide all anchor tags based on URL example: www.example.com

<a href="www.example.com" id="someID" style="display: none">Check</a>
<a href="www.example2.com" id="someID" style="display: none">Check</a>

I want to hide the first anchor tag, not the second that refers to example2.com

Is this possible with pure JavaScript and not jQuery?

Answer 1

You can use document.querySelector to select bu attribute value like this.I have used no jquery the only javascript is used.

 document.querySelector("[href='www.example.com']").style.display = 'none'; 

 <a href="www.example.com" id="someID" style="display:block">Check</a> <a href="www.example2.com" id="someID" style="display:block">Check</a> 

Answer 2

Simply loop through all anchor elements and then check their href :

 var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var i = 0; i < anchors.length; i++) { if (anchors[i].href == 'https://example.com/') { anchors[i].style.display = 'none'; } } 

 <a href="https://example.com/" id="someID">Check</a> <a href="https://example2.com/" id="someID">Check</a> 

Answer 3

You can make condition

var url = document.getElementsByTagName('a');

if (url.href = "www.example.com")
{
url.style.display = none;
}

It is not exact code. i provided you example .kindly try it and let me know. It is for single . if you have many tags then loop all those

Answer 4

You can use javascript to do the job. Use querySelector to get all the elements with same id . Then loop the ids and compare the href link value.

<script>
var elements = document.querySelectorAll("[id='someID']");
for(var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
  if (elements[i].getAttribute("href") === "www.example.com") {
    elements[i].style.display='none';
  }
}
</script>
