anchors

Description

Retrieves a collection of all A elements that have a NAME= and/or ID= attribute. Elements in this collection are in HTML source order.

Syntax

object.anchors(index)

ParameterDescription
object The document object.
(index) Optional. An integer or a string specifying the index value of the element to retrieve. Integer indexes are zero-based, meaning the first element in the collection has index 0. A string index is valid only if the string is a name or identifier of at least one element in the document.

Remarks

This collection is indexed first by name, then by identifier. If duplicate names are found, a collection of those named items is returned. Collections of duplicate names must subsequently be referenced by ordinal position.

Example

The following example displays the NAME= attribute of the third anchor defined in the document. 

alert(document.anchors(2).name);
