Finding an image tag using the alt text
I would like to know if it was possible using Javascript to find an image tag by its alt text. For instance I have this tag: <img sr开发者_StackOverflow社区c="Myimage.jpg" alt="Myimage">
would there be a way to obtain the tag by looking for the "Myimage" alt attribute?
There will undoubtedly be a jQuery solution posted soon enough. To do it without, the following will work:
function getImagesByAlt(alt) {
var allImages = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
var images = [];
for (var i = 0, len = allImages.length; i < len; ++i) {
if (allImages[i].alt == alt) {
images.push(allImages[i]);
}
}
return images;
}
var myImage = getImagesByAlt("Myimage")[0];
var imgElement = document.querySelector('img[alt="MyImage"]')
You can do this with JQuery. The following JQuery code will return any image with the alt tag set to "Myimage":
$('img[alt="Myimage"]').
However it would be a lot easier and a lot more performant to use the id attribute of the image tag.
This wouldn't be so hard if NodeList implemented Iterable. This implementation puts filter into the prototype of NodeList, which may not match everyones taste but I prefer concise access to my data structures.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// unfortunately NodeLists do not have many of the nice Iterate functions
// on them, here is an incomplete filter implementation
NodeList.prototype.filter = function(testFn) {
var array = [] ;
for (var cnt = 0 ; cnt < this.length ; cnt++) {
if (testFn(this[cnt])) array.push(this[cnt]) ;
}
return array ;
}
// loops through the img tags and finds returns true for elements that
// match the alt text
function findByAlt(altText) {
var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName('img').filter(function(x) {
return x.alt === altText ;
}) ;
return imgs ;
}
// start the whole thing
function load() {
var images = findByAlt('sometext') ;
images.forEach(function(x) {
alert(x.alt) ;
}) ;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
<img src="./img1.png" alt="sometext"/>
<img src="./img2.png" alt="sometext"/>
<img src="./img3.png" alt="someothertext"/>
</body>
</html>
