I use something like this to click an element on a page by condition:

var findElem = function(elems, text) {
    for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {
        if (elems[i].textContent == text) {
            return elems[i];
        } else {
            var result = findElem(elems[i].children, text);
            if (result != undefined) {
                return result;
            }
        }
    }
    return;
}

switch (document.getElementById('my_id').value) {
    case "1":
        findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla1").click();
        break;
    case "2":
        findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla2").click();
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

I want to add one more condition to this code.

Page I’m working is something like this:

<body id="something">

<div id="something2" class="container">
    <div id="header">
        <a class="hmm" href="somelink"></a>
        <a class="aname" target="_blank" href="anotherlink"></a>
    </div>

    <div id="anotherthing" class="anotherthing2">

<div class="differentthing " style="left: 2px; ">
    <div class="asdafad"></div>
</div>

I have to look if differentthing has no style

in short I want to do something like this:

switch (document.getElementById('my_id').value) {
    case "1":
        ---if differentthing has no style attrib then---
        findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla1").click();
        break;

so if differentthing section of page is like this

<div class="differentthing ">

then do findElem.click thing.

if it’s <div class="differentthing " style="left: 2px; "> then do nothing.

I hope I can describe. How can I do that? And sorry for my bad english.

    switch (document.getElementById('my_id').value) {
    case "1":
        // getting an array of elements with "differentthing" class
        var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("differentthing");

        // if there is just one and it does not have "style" attribute
        if (elements.length == 1 && !elements[0].getAttribute("style")){
            // perform some action
            findElem(document.documentElement.children, "blabla1").click();
        }        
        break;
