Question

I am trying to make an array from elements with a certain class in my web page. The array should get the videofile attribute value from all a tags with the class videoLink.

The final values in the array should be.

 cycling_large, ocean_medium, winecountry_part1



 <a class="videoLink"  videofile="cycling_large"  ></a>
 <a class="videoLink" videofile="ocean_medium" ></a>
 <a class="videoLink" videofile="winecountry_part1" ></a>

I tried this but, does not work.

var values = $('.videoLink').map(function() { return this.attr('videofile'); }).get();

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

var links = document.getElementsByClassName("videoLink");
var values = [].map.call(links, function (el) {
  return el.getAttribute("videofile");
});

Because you don’t jQuery for simple things.

Browser support:

• ES5 shim
• DOM shim
