Use JavaScript to find a specific link

Question

Could anyone help me with a function for JavaScript which searches the source code and compares all of the links on the site with the specific link I am looking for.

Answer 1

function find_link_by_href(address)
    links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");

    for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) { 
      if( links[i].href === address ) {
        console.log("Url found"); 
        return; 
     } 
 }

You can call it like this:

find_link_by_href("http://www.youtube.com/SPECIFICURL");
