get element by class name with javascript and change it function
You may have seen the get element by id in javascript, which is great when there is only one element but what if you need to get the element using its class name
The issue with classes is that they can be re-used so may not be unique.
Using the following code will return an array of the class elements that it finds, and then you can access them like an array or javascript object.
