I have a string named stringElement and its value is anchor tag but in string not as node element. How to get the inner text of that tag in pure js?

How it was done using jQuery:

var stringElement = "<a>1</a>";
nodeElement div = document.createElement('div');
$(div).append(stringElement);
var nodeElement2 = $(div).find("a")[0];
var text = $(nodeElement2).text();

text value is 1 <=== This is the target

EDIT: My bad, I found the answer in another question and this should be marked as duplicate.

Here is the questions link: Converting HTML string into DOM elements?

  • `nodeElement div`??? Not sure what this is. But to get the text of an element, you can use `.innerTEXT` – Rajesh Apr 02 '18 at 12:14

try this,usetextContent or innerText

var str = "<a>1</a>";
var div=document.createElement('div');
div.innerHTML=str;
console.log(div.children[0].textContent);
console.log(div.children[0].innerText);
