Question

I have this in my html page:

<nav>
    <a></a>
    <a></a>
</nav>

but when I run var menuitem = document.getElementsByTagName('nav').childNodes;
it returns “undefined”.

Here is the entire javascript file with the relevant part at the end: http://pastebin.com/bVj2Ug4e

What did I do wrong?

Thanks for the help guys!

Answer 1

this may work for you

var menuitem = document.getElementsByTagName('nav')[0].childNodes;

as document.getElementsByTagName(‘nav’) will return nodeList, and make sure you are running javascript after the dom ready.
