Question

Inside table td i have control(s). there must be one control inside td but can be multiple. I can get first control the following way.

ctrlTable.rows[i].cells[1].getElementsByTagName("*")[0].value;

So how to check whether the “td”/cell[1] has more control

Thanks,

One way;

function countEls(cell) {
    var lookFor = ["INPUT", "SELECT", "BUTTON"];
    var count = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < lookFor.length; i++) {
        count += cell.getElementsByTagName(lookFor[i]).length;
    }
    return count;
}

alert(countEls(ctrlTable.rows[i].cells[1]))​;
