Remove Element By Tag Name Duplicate

Are you looking to clean up your code and get rid of those pesky duplicate elements tagged with the same name? Well, you're in luck because today we're going to dive into how you can remove elements by tag name duplicates with ease.

When dealing with web development, it's not uncommon to encounter situations where elements with the same tag name exist more than once on a page. This can cause issues with functionality and styling, so it's essential to address and clean up these duplicates.

The first step in removing elements by tag name duplicates is to identify the target element you want to remove. You can do this by inspecting your webpage using developer tools in the browser. Look for elements that share the same tag name and make a note of them.

Next, you will need to use JavaScript to manipulate the DOM (Document Object Model) and remove these duplicate elements. You can achieve this by writing a function that iterates over all elements with the specified tag name and removes the duplicates.

function removeElementByTagNameDuplicate(tagName) {
  const elements = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
  
  let seenElements = {};
  
  for (let i = elements.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    let element = elements[i];
    if (seenElements[element.textContent]) {
      element.parentNode.removeChild(element);
    } else {
      seenElements[element.textContent] = true;
    }
  }
}

In this function, we first get all elements with the specified tag name using `document.getElementsByTagName()`. We then create an object `seenElements` to keep track of elements we have already encountered based on their text content.

We iterate over the elements in reverse order to ensure that we remove the last duplicate element encountered. For each element, we check if its text content is already in the `seenElements` object. If it is, we remove the element from the DOM by calling `element.parentNode.removeChild(element)`. Otherwise, we add the element's text content to the `seenElements` object.

Finally, you can call the `removeElementByTagNameDuplicate()` function with the tag name of the elements you want to target for removal. For example, if you want to remove duplicate `

removeElementByTagNameDuplicate('div');
