Remove tag "a" within a specific div

Question

I'm trying to remove a tag "a" within a specific div.

How can I access to the tag?

<script>
    window.onload = function myFunction() { 
        var elem = document.getElementById("divname");
      var a_tag_elem = elem.getElementsByTagName("a");
      a_tag_elem.remove();    
} 
</script>

The issue is probably that getElementsByTagName('a') returns a list so you need to do [0] afterwards — RobPethi, Feb 11 '20 at 12:02
Try this: `var div = document.getElementById("divname"); var a = div.querySelector("a"); div.removeChild(a);` — uminder, Feb 11 '20 at 12:35

Try this:

a_tag_elem[0].remove();

It doesn't work – Martina Pérez Feb 11 '20 at 12:30
I assumed that "a_tag_elem " not null but your "a_tag_elem " array is empty.you could control this array. – Cem Tuğut Feb 11 '20 at 12:39
