Get HTML element via aria label

Question

I\'m making a small chrome extension and for it I need to grab a div from the DOM to manipulate. I get the DOM but I\'m having trouble grabbing the required d

Answer 1

Probably you're trying to get the Element before it's even loaded on the page.

If so, you can wrap your code into the DOMContentLoaded event:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  console.log(document.getElementById(':ik').textContent);
});

But if you really want to get the element by its aria label, you can do that:

document.querySelector('div[aria-label="Message Body"]');

But this way is much less performatic, and you'll need to do exactly what I've mentioned above too.
