# getElementsByTagName method

The `getElementsByTagName` method allows you to get page elements by a tag name. With the retrieved elements, you can perform various manipulations: change their text, attributes, CSS styles, and so on.

## Syntax

`document.getElementsByTagName(tag name);`

## Example

Let's get all the paragraphs and change their text using the property `innerHTML`:

`<p>elem 1</p> <p>elem 2</p> <p>elem 3</p>` `let elems = document.getElementsByTagName('p'); for (let elem of elems) { elem.innerHTML = '!!!'; }`

The code execution result:

`<p>!!!</p> <p>!!!</p> <p>!!!</p>`
