get scripts by tag name under IE 8

When I try to get for example all images using 

getElementsByTagName('img');

there is no problems, but when I try to get all scripts

getElementsByTagName('script');

the function returns empty value. This problem exists only under IE8.

Any suggestions?

Solution

  • I checked it and this is working fine in all browser.

    getElementsByTagName('script') return an object. For chrome it returns as NodeList[], whereas in IE8 it returns as [object HTMLCollection].

    I'm not sure whether you are trying to access the src of the script used in your project. If so, try the below code

    window.onload=function() {
  var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName("script");
  for (var i=0;i<scripts.length;i++) {
     if (scripts[i].src) console.log(i,scripts[i].src)
     else console.log(i,scripts[i].innerHTML)
  }
}

    Reference.
