Document: scripts property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since June 2018.

The scripts property of the Document interface returns a list of the <script> elements in the document. The returned object is an HTMLCollection.

Value

An HTMLCollection. You can use this just like an array to get all the elements in the list.

Examples

This example looks to see if the page has any <script> elements.

js
let scripts = document.scripts;

if (scripts.length) {
  alert("This page has scripts!");
}
