looping thru inputs

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I have an xml file and it has some elements that have an attribute called answercontrol, if this is true I want to go into it.
In IE i have it working but not in mozilla.

The code starts like this:

[code]
function fnBuildAnswersXML(doc)
{
var allinputs = doc.getElementsByTagName(‘input’);
var xml = “<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”ISO-8859-1″?>”;
xml=xml+”<screen screenNumber=””+ screenNum +”” finalScreen=”false” totalNumberOfScreens=””+ totalNumScreens + “”>”
for(var i=0;i<allinputs.length;i++)
{
// loop through all answercontrols
alert(“CHECK -> allinputs[i].answercontrol = ” + allinputs[i].answercontrol)
if(allinputs[i].answercontrol==’true’)
{
[/code]

The alert always pops up an undefined. I really haven’t a clue what to do next.

@yellabuffDec 11.2006 — Try using allinputs[i].getAttribute("answercontrol")

@yellabuffDec 11.2006 — Convert it to what?

@SniipeauthorDec 11.2006 — its all good, thanks for your help lads:

allSelects[i].options[allSelects[i].selectedIndex].getAttribute("value")



I'll look into this tomorrow but if u have an answer to this (off-topic, I know)

I'm getting all the inputs from text boxes. The text boxes have defaults and when I enter a value in one it doesn't get the value from the following code:



allinputs[i].getAttribute("value")



perhaps value isn't recognised by mozilla, because it does work for IE.



note: allinputs[i] being a textbox

Success!
