Here is a sample html page.. I need to select the html elements by its attributes i can get the attribute values by getAttribute() but i need to select all the elements first.

How in javascript to get elements which has the attribute name as “someAttribute”. Once i get the elements i can get the attribute values and use my function.

Note: i want to do this without using jquery.

    store each element in a array the loop throught each element, and if the element contains the attribute someAttribute do somgthing.

    var arr_elms = [];
arr_elms = document.body.getElementsByTagName("*");
var elms_len = arr_elms.length;

for (var i = 0; i < elms_len; i++) {
  if(arr_elms[i].getAttribute("someAttribute") != null){  
   alert("FOUND : " + arr_elms[i].getAttribute("someAttribute"));
   }
}
