get all textboxes via javascript.

I've tried the following:

var elems = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
            for(obj in elems)
            {
                alert(obj.type);
            }

Here I was trying to find out if the input field was 'text' or 'hidden', etc. I always seem to get undefined in the alert box.

hi try this....

{

var boxes = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");

for(var i = 0; i < boxes.length; i++)

{

// if(boxes[i].type == 'text')

alert(boxes[i].type);

//boxes[i].readOnly=true;

};

Re: get all textboxes via javascript.

Beacause for...in get all properties, not all elements.
