Javascript - get span by the class?

html, javascript

Solution

Yes, you can use `document.getElementsByClassName()`.

This will return an Array of all the elements with that classname. So the first one could be accessed like this:

`var span = document.getElementsByClassName("galleria-current")[0]`

Problem

Possible Duplicate: How to Get Element By Class in JavaScript? I need to get the text from inside of a span. The span has no ID. It only has a class. There would only be one span with this class. Does anyone know how I can get this span element in javascript? Thanks! ``` <span class="galleria-current">1</span> ``` This is slightly different than How to Get Element By Class in JavaScript? which is asking the more generic "get an element with a class", in case there's an easier way for spans, plus that question is about replacing text, whereas I want to get the innerHTML in this case.
