I have a basic HTML list like below...

<ul class=test_ul>

    <li class=item id=item1>

        Item 1

    </li>

    <li class=item id=item2>

        Item 2

    </li>

    <li class=item id=item3>

        Item 3

    </li>

    <li class=item id=item4>

        Item 4

    </li>

</ul>

I am using javascript to try and grab the id of each list item and then use a loop to check each one against a string. I have this so far..

var myvariable

myvariable = item2

items = document.getElementsByClassName(item);

for (i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {

    console.log(i);

    console.log(item[i]);

}

This isn't working for me, is it because it is not really an array?
