Question

Right now i am getting elements from form using getelementTagname in two differenet variables.But now i want to join them so that i can access them in a single variable.concat and join are not working , any suggestions ?

My code :-

var inputsi = frm.getElementsByTagName("input");
var inputst = frm.getElementsByTagName("textarea");

now i want to get them in a single variable by joining .

Answer 1

getElementsByTagName returns a host object. Though the elements in that object can be accessed like an array, it is not an actual array. so concat and append won’t work.

use jQuery for getting elements:

var elements = $("input, textarea"); // return you all the textareas and inputs in a single variable

or use for loop to copy all elements from both variables into a new array.
