querySelectorAll() the best JavaScript function in the world!

Can querySelectorAll() be used to select elements based on their text content?

1 answer

  1. No, `querySelectorAll()` cannot be used to select elements based on their text content directly. `querySelectorAll()` is designed for selecting elements based on CSS selectors, which do not have the ability to target text content. However, you can use JavaScript to loop through the selected elements using `querySelectorAll()` and then filter the elements by their text content.

    Here's an example:

    ```javascript
    // Get all elements with the class 'example'
    const elements = document.querySelectorAll('.example');

    // Filter elements based on their text content
    const filteredElements = Array.from(elements).filter(element => element.textContent === 'Target Text');

    // Now, 'filteredElements' contains the elements with the matching text content
    ```

    In this example, we first get all elements with the class 'example', then filter the elements by their text content, leaving only the elements whose text content matches 'Target Text'.
