x=document.getElementsByTagName('input');

will create an array of all the input element objects.

then the values could be accessed with x.value[0] ... x.value[n];

Hi,
you had a similar question with source code which you have deleted. As I was heavily working on your other question I could not respond in a timely manner.
Could you please post the code again?
The issue is that as far as I have seen on the list screenshot, you will have to create two items in the SharePoint list - one for each FY.

(Edit: Redacted - Modulus_Twelve, mplungjan)
All input elements in a form are already in the collection of document.formName.elements
However seeing you are using jquery you should use


$("form :input").each(function(){
    $(this).....
});

COBOL: you code would miss select and textarea

Hi, what if I just wanted the text fields?  Would it be $("$form:text").each.........?

Because the code is dynamic, I would also like to grab the id name of the text element and not just the value. How can I do that?  Thx!

mplungjan,

That worked to get the value. Thanks!

 Any idea, how I can get just the "id" name of the element.
this.id is the ID this.name is the name...
