To get a selected [value](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23219/an-optimized-description-adds-value-to-experience-and-in-turn-effectively-guest-posting-packages) from a group of elements with the same name, you can use the `querySelector()` method. The `querySelector()` method takes a selector as its argument and returns the first element that matches the selector.

The following code shows how to get a selected value from a group of elements with the same name:

```plaintext
var elements = document.querySelectorAll("input[name='my_input']");
var selectedValue = elements[0].value;
```

In this code, the `elements` variable is a collection of all the elements that have the `name` attribute set to `my_input`. The `selectedValue` variable is the value of the first element in the `elements` collection.

If there is no selected element, the `querySelector()` method will return `null`.

Here is another way to get the selected value from a group of elements with the same name:

```plaintext
var selectedValue = document.querySelector("input[name='my_input']").value;
```

In this code, the `selectedValue` variable is the value of the element that has the `name` attribute set to `my_input`.
