Question

there is a div with some values like this:

<div id="links">
<link1>||<link2>||<link3>
</div>

i know in javascript we can make an array of a string with str.split("||"); but my problem is i can’t define a variable for some reasons in this case, i just need to get values of div block like a var,but i don’t know how, i need something like this from above block:

var str = '<link1>||<link2>||<link3>';

Answer 1

Fetch the innerHTML from your div and then trim it by removing spaces at the begining and end of your string:

var str = document.getElementById('links').innerHTML.
            replace(/^\s*/, '').replace(/\s*$/, '');

Then you can go ahead and do:

var arr = str.split("||");
