I'm attempting to read the innerHtml of a html tag that is saved as a string value like so:
let htmlVar=`
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>The Document Object</h1>
<h2 id="demo">The getElementById() Method</h2>
</body>
</html>
`
How can I use document.getElementById("demo")
and then display the value The getElementById() Method
CodePudding user response:
You can use a DOMParser
to convert your text into an HTMLDocument that you can use getElementById
on:
let htmlVar=`
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>The Document Object</h1>
<h2 id="demo">The getElementById() Method</h2>
</body>
</html>
`
const parser = new DOMParser()
const doc = parser.parseFromString(htmlVar, "text/html");
console.log(doc.getElementById('demo').textContent)
