how to get css href link using JS?

I am using JavaScript for the first time.
Please give me detailed explanation and test code.

I would like to extract 'javascript: pdfdownload' next to 'onclick' in 'href = # function' under code.

<li><a href="#" onclick="javascript:pdfDownload('NAME.pdf'); return false;"><span class="on-clickboard">
        <img src="IMG1.png" alt=""></span>NAME
        <span class="icon-right"><img src="IMG.JPG" alt=""></span>
        </a></li>

so i use under code that if i catch button_action then give a True to 'value' variale.

var button_action = "pdfDonwload"

if(window.loaction.href.indexOf(button_action) != -1){value = 'True'}

i don't know thos try is right, and Furthermore, it may be a completely wrong-directional coding.

please help me.

Solution

  • you first must select tag: 

    var els = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); // better is use getElementById()

    then get getAttribute

    var value =  els[0].getAttribute('onclick');

    now you can set it anywhere.
