Question

I’m a beginner, and couldn’t find the answer after searching.

In my example, I’m looking for an

<a href="bla" onclick="dah">some text here</a>

I’d want to find this particular element, so I can do stuff with it.

Edit: The only thing I know that’s unique about the element for sure, is the text “some text here”, that’s why I want to find it based on that.

Answer 1

Put id on the element:

<a href="bla" onclick="dah" id='myEl'>some text here</a>

From javascript:

var myEl = document.getElementById('myEl') // gives the element
