Get all LI elements in array

Question

How can i make JS select every LI element inside a UL tag and put them into an array?

Answer 1

You can get a NodeList to iterate through by using getElementsByTagName(), like this:

var lis = document.getElementById("navbar").getElementsByTagName("li");

You can test it out here. This is a NodeList not an array, but it does have a .length and you can iterate over it like an array.
