Question

Ok, been scratching my head on this one for a bit now… seems related to this ol’ chestnut

Here’s my problem:

var testlength = theForm.elements.length;
var testlastelement = theForm.elements[testlength].type;

testlength returns 60
BUT!
testlastelement comes back as “undefined” (null or not an object)

What gives?

FWIW, my page has a bunch of inputs (i’m trying to loop through a form and grab names, values, etc)… the form inputs are contained within a table but the last elements (which are also types=image) are outside that table.

Answer 1

Arrays and HTMLCollections like form.elements in JavaScript have 0-based indexes, that means you have 60 elements, and their indexes are from 0 to 59, or from 0 to length-1
