Is there a way in java script to get only a particular name instead of using document.getElementsByName("x");
which return an array? I have a kind of special situation where i can't use the id. Any suggestions please? Thank You.
Just get the first element:
document.getElementsByName("x")[0];
Or for safety:
function getFirstElementByName(element_name) {
var elements = document.getElementsByName(element_name);
if (elements.length) {
return elements[0];
} else {
return undefined;
}
}
(BTW getElementsByName returns a collection, not an array.)
If you're looking for a single element, take the first one from the nodelist, for example:
var element = document.getElementsByName("x")[0];
Or use jQuery , so you don't have to bother with all the browser annoyance.
You just have to do this:
$("*[name='x']").first();
To get the first element with that name. If you know the element type than you can use it instead of "*". jQuery will make your life easier every time!
