When you use the getElementByTagName()
method, will get a list(array) of all the elements of that tag TYPE. You're
not looking for elements with that particular name
attribute but instead, you are looking for
those element types. The snippet below will not find items with a name attribute of p but instead, it will return all p elements.
I like punch and pie. This is the 3rd paragraph on this page.
Operation Dark Shield. This is the 4th paragraph on this page.
let pList = document.getElementsByTagName("p");
let results = "";
results = "The 3rd paragraph (index 2) is: " + pList[2].innerHTML + "<br />";
results += "The 4th paragraph (index 3) is: " + pList[3].innerHTML + "<br />";
document.getElementById("demo1").innerHTML = results;
