Javascript DOM howto?
I am a javascript no开发者_如何学Cob.
I would like to select the second 'p' element of the div.box. How do I do this?
Thanks a lot! Tom
To get second p element of div with class box you'd do this:
var paragraph = null;
var divs = document.findElementsByTagName('div');
for (var i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {
var div = divs[i];
if (div.class == 'box') {
var paragraphs = div.getElementsByTagName('p');
if (paragraphs.length > 1)
paragraph = paragraphs[1];
break;
}
}
The paragraph would then be in the paragraph
variable (or null if it wasn't found).
However you can do this much easier with a library such as jQuery:
var paragraph = $('div.box p:eq(1)');
Without using jQuery, the basic method would be to attach an unique ID to your Dom element
<p id="second_p_elmt"> [...] </p>
and then accessing it through the getElementById() method:
<script ...>
var second_p_elmt = document.getElementById('second_p_elmt');
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var boxElem = document.getElementById('box'),
pElems = boxElem.getElementsByTagName('p'),
whatYouWant = pElems[1]; // [1] is the second element in the response from getElementsByTagName
</script>
You have several options. As stated above, you could use one of the excellent frameworks, like jQuery or prototype. Or you give the <p/>
an ID, that you can use simply with document.getElementById()
.
Then, as reko_t pointed out, without the above, you must write a lengthy DOM traversing code (which is preferable, if you don't use JS frameworks elsewhere, over embedding them only for this task).
In the most recent browsers (namely, IE>=8, FF>=3.5, recent Opera and Safari > 3) you can also use this simple snippet:
var p = document.querySelectorAll("div.box p");
