Is there a way to grab the text from inside a alt tag? I have a site that will have tons of span tags and I need to go through all of them searching for the alt="" attribute then grab it.
I'm using some non-jQuery javascript, so I'm sure there is an easier way to format this than what I currently have. Any thoughts on this would be great. ----- html example: <span>text here</span> <span alt="Joe">text here</span> <span alt="Jim">text here</span> <span>text here</span> ----- Javascript. // grab all spans on page. var elem = window.opener.document.getElementsByTagName("span"); // make sure spans have alt attribute for (var i = 0; i < elem.length; i++) { if (!!$(elem[i]).attr("printElement")) { ???? Where do I go from here? ..... would like to do a document.write(span element alt value); } } Any thoughts on this would be great.
