I am trying to find all HTML tags with a specific name "name" inside an element with a specific id.
document.getElementById("myid").getElementsByName("name");throws error getElementsByName is not a function
The sample code is:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><div id="myid"><p name="name">first name</p><p name="name">first name</p></div><p id="result">RESULT</p><script> let el = document.getElementById("myid") let names=el.getElementsByName("fname"); document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = elements[0].innerHTML;</script></body></html>I saw somewhere that unlike other functions the 'getElementsByName' is limmited to 'Document' scope only and does not exist in any other scope.
- is this true?
- what alternative approach should I use instead of 'getElementsByName'?
