Javascript Getting specific element (of parent) by name
- by Fluidbyte
I'm using custom tags to define sections in an application, so I have something like this:
<mysection>
<form>
<input name="myfield">
</form>
</mysection>
I'm using the following and able to get the tag (printed to console, everything is groovy)
var parent = document.getElementsByTagName('mysection');
The issue I'm having is finding the child field by name:
var myfield = parent.getElementsByName("myfield");
...as I don't want to pick up on any other 'sections' that might have an input with the name 'myfield'.
EDIT:
var parent = document.getElementsByTagName('mysection')[0];
was suggested and returns to console the section contents, however, getElementsByName throws an error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object #<NodeList> has no method 'getElementsByName'
