In this article, we would like to show you how to find the tag name of the HTML element using JavaScript.

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
element.tagName;

Practical example

Edit

In this example, we get handles to all elements of the document.body and display their tags using the tagName property.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
  <div>Div element's text...</div>
  <br>
  <img id="image" src="/static/bucket/1631898942509-VMYrnXyYZv--image.png" height="50px" />
  <script>
​
    var elements = document.body.children;
​
    for (var element of elements) {
        console.log(element.tagName);
    }
​
  </script>
</body>
</html>
