Hi,
I claim First Post! :)
How do we access class names?
For example, this code:
<td class="the-title" align=left>The Title!</td>If you want to parse html and find the title element you can find the class name "the-title".
That's what I am trying to do.
How do I do that?
Thank you,
Antoine
Jump to PostHi
there is no direct way to get elements by class name.
but you can access the class name attribute using dom api:
take help of following example:…<html> <head> <script> function clickMe() { var aElems=document.getElementsByTagName('a'); var href=aElems[0].getAttribute('href'); alert('href='+href); } </script> </head> <body> <a href="javascript:clickMe();">click</a> </body> </html>
Jump to PostMaybe a custom function like getElementsByClassName() ?

</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:clickMe();">click</a>
</body>
</html>as i have done for href you can do with class. Right !!!
Just add an id, and get the element that way.

Hi,
Actually, I am trying to parse messages from my Yahoo forum into my access 2003 database and yahoo works in a way that only allows for classes to id what you want. That's why I need to understand the DOM and figure a way through it...
Thank you:)

The problem with class is that it can appear in multiple tags. That's why I use it for my color palette.
Is there some way you can use class, not to identify the tag, but to hide the identifying info from display?
Hi,
I don't know. It seems the class names are unique for what I am looking for so I should be good. However I still haven't found a way to parse a document in the way I need:
ex: find.class(TD)
if class="ygrp-title-name" then
Hope somebody can share a light... :)
Thank you,
Antoine
var thisClass = this.className;I know less than nothing about javascript, but this works for me within a click function in jQuery.
