Form printing script

  • This is a Version 2 script.
  • Explorer 3 and QNX Voyager can't handle this script.
  • Escape gives no type for INPUT's without a TYPE attribute (that default to "text").

    A script that prints out the form structure for you, so you can keep track of which element has which number etc.

    As example I take the same form as on the example form and script page.

    Name
    Address
    City
    E-mail

    How did you get to this site?
    I'd like additional information about oranges
    potatoes
    tomatoes
    blue whales

    This is the form:

    ElementNameTypeValue

    This is the script. Copy-paste it below your form in the same page.

    
<TABLE BORDER=1><TR><TH>Element</TH><TH>Name</TH><TH>Type</TH><TH>Value</TH>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--

for (var i=0;i<document.forms[0].length;i++)
{
	current = document.forms[0].elements[i];
	document.write('<TR><TD>' + i);
	document.write('<TD>' + current.name);
	document.write('<TD>' + current.type);
	document.write('<TD>' + current.value + '</TR>');
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>

</TABLE>

    Note document.forms[0].length: it is the number of elements in the form.
