How to select an element insert using insertAdjacentHTML?

Question

Using native Javascript. After adding a new element via insertAdjacentHTML, I want to select one of that elements. How do I get that without having to search through the DOM?

Answer 1

You can't.

You've generated the element in a way that doesn't leave you with a reference to it. The DOM is the only place it exists.

Searching through the DOM is the only way to do it.
