I have a check box like
<input id="inp__str_Object__17" type="checkbox" name="inp__str_Object__17" sym_name="Cust_attr_1" value="400024" >
Using javascript how can i get the id (inp__str_Object__17) using sym_name="Cust_attr_1"
Like document.getAttribute("SYM_NAME")
var myInputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for(var index in myInputs) {
var myInput = myInputs[index].getAttribute('syn_name');
if (myInput === 'some value')
return myInputs[index].id;
}
Hope this was helpfull
You could use the kind of methods that do a "query by attribute" as described here Get elements by attribute when querySelectorAll is not available without using libraries? to get the input ; then, just get the "id" attribute.
I'm not sure a native solution exists to retrieve an element by a custom attribute. You can do some of this work yourself such as:
var elem = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
var id = "";
for(var x = 0; x < elem.length; x++){
if(elem[x].getAttribute("sym_name")){
id = elem[x].id
}
}

Or you could pull by the name attribute:
var elem = document.getElementsByName("inp__str_Object__17");
var id = elem[0].id;
