Selecting elements without jQuery

Question

I guess this will be voted down, as it doesn\'t contain enough jQuery, but here it goes :)

What is the most effective way to get the element(s) returned by the jQuer

Answer 1

Here is an example

var getElements = function(tagName, attribute, value, callback) {
  var tags = window.document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
  for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++) {
    var tag = tags[i];
    if (tag.getAttribute(attribute) == value) {
      callback(tag);
    }
  };
};

getElements("a", "title", "PHP power player at Hettema & Bergsten. Click to learn more.", function(tag) {
  console.log(tag);
});
