Here is the simple syntax to use this selector:
$('tagname') |
Here is the description of all the parameters used by this selector:
tagname: Any standard HTML tag name like div, p, em, img , li etc.
Like any other jQuery selector, this selector also returns an array filled with the found elements.
$('p') selects all elements with a tag name of p in the document.

<html> <head> <title>The Selecter Example</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { /* This would select all the divisions */ var divs = $("div"); for( i=0; i<divs.length; i++ ){ alert("Found Division: " + divs[i].innerHTML); } }); </script> </head> <body> <div class="div1" id="divid1"> <p class="para1" id="pid1">This is first paragraph.</p> <p class="para2" id="pid2">This is second paragraph.</p> <p class="para3" id="pid3">This is third paragraph.</p> </div> <br /> <div class="div2" id="divid2"> <p>This is second division of the DOM.</p> </div> <br /> <div class="div3" id="divid3"> <p>This is a para inside third division</p> </div> </body> </html> |
