i'd like to replace getelementbyid with getelementsbyclassname in my javascript function. This function change the color of a div text, and div's class is code_div. I do not know how to do it. The script is:
w3CodeColor(document.getElementById("myDiv"));
function w3CodeColor(elmnt, mode) {
var lang = (mode || "html");
var elmntObj = (document.getElementById(elmnt) || elmnt);
var elmntTxt = elmntObj.innerHTML;
var tagcolor = "mediumblue";
var tagnamecolor = "brown";
var attributecolor = "red";
var attributevaluecolor = "mediumblue";
var commentcolor = "green";
var cssselectorcolor = "brown";
var csspropertycolor = "red";
var csspropertyvaluecolor = "mediumblue";
var cssdelimitercolor = "black";
var cssimportantcolor = "red";
var jscolor = "black";
var jskeywordcolor = "mediumblue";
var jsstringcolor = "brown";
var jsnumbercolor = "red";
var jspropertycolor = "black";
elmntObj.style.fontFamily = "Consolas,'Courier New', monospace";
if (!lang) {lang = "html"; }
if (lang == "html") {elmntTxt = htmlMode(elmntTxt);}
if (lang == "css") {elmntTxt = cssMode(elmntTxt);}
if (lang == "js") {elmntTxt = jsMode(elmntTxt);}
elmntObj.innerHTML = elmntTxt;

I tried to change w3CodeColor(document.getElementById("myDiv")); with getElementsByClassName but it didn't work.
I took this script at this page.
Thank you
CodePudding user response：
First, you need to get the class name of the element you need to select. For example:
<div >...</div>
getElementsByClassName() will return a list of all elements which have this class name
if you have just one element has this class you need to select first element
For example:
const element = document.getElementsByClassName("class-name")[0]
or
const [element] = document.getElementsByClassName("class-name")
