Question

How can I use JavaScript (no JQuery) to traverse through a bunch of DIVs that has a common class, then check the value within the <span> tag, base on the value, change the href value to something else. Here is an example mark-up.

<div class="module-content">
<div class="js-tab-content S00">
    <h2 class="heading">
        <a href="http://someurl.com">
            <span>Adelaide</span>
        </a>
    </h2>
</div>
<div class="js-tab-content N00">
    <h2 class="heading">
        <a href="http://anotherurl.com">
            <span>Sydney</span>
        </a>
    </h2>
</div>
<div class="js-tab-content V00">
    <h2 class="heading">
        <a href="http://thisurl.com">
            <span>Melbourne</span>
        </a>
    </h2>
</div>
</div>

var tabContentDivs = document.getElementsByClassName("js-tab-content");

for (var i = 0, tabContentDiv; tabContentDiv = tabContentDivs[i]; ++i) {
    var spanEl = tabContentDiv.querySelector(".heading span");
    var spanText = spanEl.innerText;

    var aEl = tabContentDiv.querySelector(".heading a");
    aEl.href += "#" + spanText; // for example
}
