So I am writing a script that can be run on a page but I want to click on this element, unfortunately, it does not have an id to get and I am trying to use the .click() function on it, but it doesn't work, here's what I have, anyone know how to fix it? This is the only element in the class also
var classes = document.getElementsByClassName('rateRecipe btns-one-small');
var Rate = classes[0];
Rate.click();
I'd suggest:
document.querySelector('.rateRecipe.btns-one-small').click();
The above code assumes that the given element has both of those classes; otherwise, if the space is meant to imply an ancestor-descendant relationship:
document.querySelector('.rateRecipe .btns-one-small').click();
The method getElementsByClassName() takes a single class-name (rather than document.querySelector()/document.querySelectorAll(), which take a CSS selector), and you passed two (presumably class-names) to the method.
References:
getElementsByClassName accepts multiple classes, so @user3010773's original code will work just fine if he was trying to select a single element that has both classes. jsfiddle.net/u94wtpcnIf you want to click on all elements selected by some class, you can use this example (used on last.fm on the Loved tracks page to Unlove all).
var divs = document.querySelectorAll('.love-button.love-button--loved');
for (i = 0; i < divs.length; ++i) {
divs[i].click();
};
With ES6 and Babel (cannot be run in the browser console directly)
[...document.querySelectorAll('.love-button.love-button--loved')]
.forEach(div => { div.click(); })
[...document.querySelectorAll('.love-button.love-button--loved')].forEach(div => { div.click(); }), what do you think?
for exactly what you want (if you know the index of button):
var rate = document.getElementsByClassName('rateRecipe btns-one-small')[0];
rate.click();
or for direct action
document.getElementsByClassName('rateRecipe btns-one-small')[0].click();
with jQuery
$('.rateRecipe .btns-one-small').click(function(){
var vIndex = $('.rateRecipe .btns-one-small').index(this);
//vIndex is the index of buttons out of multiple
//do whatever
//alert($(this).val());//for value
});
class of my button is "input-addon btn btn-default fileinput-exists"
below code helped me
document.querySelector('.input-addon.btn.btn-default.fileinput-exists').click();
but I want to click second button, I have two buttons in my screen so I used querySelectorAll
var elem = document.querySelectorAll('.input-addon.btn.btn-default.fileinput-exists');
elem[1].click();
here elem[1] is the second button object that I want to click.
