Script action use case and examples

Feel free to utilize the JavaScript codes provided below for various common scenarios. We will continuously update and expand the examples as we discover new ones.

Click on the title to expand

Clicking on multiple buttons

Use case: Click on multiple elements to expand the tab commonly used on FAQs.
Example URL: https://register.fca.org.uk/s/firm?id=001b000000MgGCUAA3

Javascript code: Replace the #page-nav-content button[aria-expanded="false" with the element ID, class, or CSS Selector of the accordion.

var buttons = document.querySelectorAll('#page-nav-content button[aria-expanded="false"]'); 
buttons.forEach(element => { element.click() });

Display Inline HREFs

Use case: Display the HREF links on hyperlinked texts, menu, or button beside it to monitor URL changes.
Example URL: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports.html

Javascript code

Display the full URL:

document.querySelectorAll("[href]").forEach(link => {
        const linkRect = link.getBoundingClientRect();
        if (linkRect.width > 0 && linkRect.height > 0) {
            const href = link.getAttribute("href");
            const hrefSpan = document.createElement("span");
            hrefSpan.textContent = ` ${href} `;
            link.insertAdjacentElement("afterend", hrefSpan);
        }
    });

Display only the base URL:

document.querySelectorAll("[href]").forEach(link => {
    const linkRect = link.getBoundingClientRect();
    if (linkRect.width > 0 && linkRect.height > 0) {
        const href = link.getAttribute("href");
        const baseDomain = href.split("/")[2]; // Extracting base domain
        const hrefSpan = document.createElement("span");
        hrefSpan.textContent = ` ${baseDomain} `;
        link.insertAdjacentElement("afterend", hrefSpan);
    }
});

Example:

Remove all class names and IDs

Use case: Remove element class names and IDs to remove all styling making it easier to monitor all changes such as opening all panels and more.
Example URL: https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/help/faq/premier-qualification.html

Javascript code:

const elements = document.querySelectorAll('*');

function removeClassNamesAndIDs(element) {
  element.removeAttribute('class');
  element.removeAttribute('id');
}

elements.forEach(element => {
  removeClassNamesAndIDs(element);
});
