I have this string:
var str = '<p>paragraph<a>link</a></p>
<div class="myclass">
<div>something</div>
<div style="mystyle">something</div>
<b><a href="#">link</a></b>
<b><a href="#" name="a name">link</a></b>
<b style="color:red">bold</b>
<img src="../path" alt="something" />
<img src="../path" alt="something" class="myclass" />
</div>';
I want to remove all attributes except href
, src
, alt
. So this is expected result:
/*
<p>paragraph<a>link</a></p>
<div>
<div>something</div>
<div>something</div>
<b><a href="#">link</a></b>
<b><a href="#">link</a></b>
<b>bold</b>
<img src="../path" alt="something">
<img src="../path" alt="something">
</div>
How can I do that?
I can just select them which isn't useful:
We need to remove the attribute from the end.
Please note that you need backticks to quote a string with embedded newlines
var str = `<p>paragraph<a>link</a></p>
<div class="myclass">
<div>something</div>
<div style="mystyle" class="someclass">something</div>
<b><a href="#">link</a></b>
<b><a href="#" name="a name">link</a></b>
<b style="color:red">bold</b>
<img src="../path" alt="something" />
<img src="../path" alt="something" class="myclass" />
</div>`;
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML=str;
div.querySelectorAll("*").forEach(function(el){
for (let atts = el.attributes, i = atts.length-1; i >=0; i--) { // remove from the end
var att = atts[i].nodeName;
if (["src","alt","href"].indexOf(att) ==-1) el.removeAttribute(att);
}
});
// console.log(div); alert shows it more clearly
alert(div.innerHTML);
