javascript parse text from <a href> links

Lets say I have

<a href="/example1">ThisTextChanges</a>
<a href="/example2">ThisTextChanges</a>
<a href="/example3">ThisTextChanges</a>
<a href="/example4">ThisTextChanges</a>

I want to iterate through these and get the "ThisTextChanges" which are some numbers that changes, most accurately timers.

How can i achieve that? jquery is fine. They are inside a div with id "main_container". I need to put the text in a var so the href is importanto to know which var i use for each one.

Solution

  • You can just add condition in the a selector as follows:

    var array = [];
$('#main_container a[href="/example2"]').each(function(){
   array.push($(this).html());
});
console.log(array);
