Number of elements in a Form 2

[juanferman]

Hi guys:

Any body of you knows how can I get the number of elements into a form ?

There is any way to also know what type of element is, checkbox, text, etc ?

Thanks in advance ===================

yep, you can calculate those:
document.your_form_name.elements.length
will tell you the total number of elements in your form.
using
document.your_form_name.elements[number].type will tell you the type

when you document loads, the browser automatically creates an array "elements" where all your form elements are stored. so in my second example, "number" should be the number in the browser's "elements" array that correlats to your element

document.myForm.elements.length

to know what the type of each element is do :

for (var ii = 0; ii < document.myForm.elements.length; ii++)
{
alert(document.myForm.elements[ii].type)
}

Hope this helps. Gary
