Question

I have string that contains html . The html has several img tags in it . I want to find all the img tags and have some kind of collection so that i can replace them with my code.

Does anybody has any idea.

I want it in Javascript

Answer 1

var html_str = '...some images and other markup...';

var temp = document.createElement( 'div' );
temp.innerHTML = html_str;

var images = temp.getElementsByTagName( 'img' );

…then loop over the images…

for( var i = 0; i < images.length; i++ ) {
    images[ i ].className = "my_class";
}

What you actually need to do may change how your loop runs, but the above just adds a class, so it is just a normal for loop.

Note that at this point you’re dealing with DOM elements, not markup. These elements can be added directly to the DOM.
