[maminx]

i have this script...

            var td = document.createElement('td');
            var p = document.createElement('p');
            var label = document.createElement('label');
            var span = document.createElement('span');
            var theData = document.createTextNode(pbdcuraian);
            var theTextarea = document.createElement('textarea');
            theTextarea.setAttribute('name', 'items['+item_count+'][work_description]');
            theTextarea.setAttribute('id', 'items['+item_count+'][work_description]');
            theTextarea.setAttribute('rows', '2');
            theTextarea.setAttribute('cols', '25');
            label.appendChild(span);
            theTextarea.appendChild(theData);
            label.appendChild(theTextarea);
            p.appendChild(label);
            td.appendChild(p);
            row.appendChild(td);
 
            var td = document.createElement('td');
            var p = document.createElement('p');
            var label = document.createElement('label');
            var span = document.createElement('span');
            var theData = document.createTextNode('Location');
            var theInput = document.createElement('input');
            theInput.setAttribute('type', 'text');
            theInput.setAttribute('name', 'items['+item_count+'][pbdckdlok]');
            theInput.setAttribute('size', '3');        
            theInput.setAttribute('value',pbdckdlok);
            span.appendChild(theData);
            label.appendChild(span);
            label.appendChild(theInput);
            p.appendChild(label);            
            td.appendChild(p);
            row.appendChild(td);
 

actually i have one element textarea and five element input (the script only show for one creation of element input).

I want to get a value from those element, how can i get those value of elements, any idea??

You need to access the value element of the object

theTextArea.value

You need to access the value element of the object

theTextArea.value
 

yes of course, i know i can get the value with that script or this.getAttribute('value')...

but that's only works for one element input, and you know as i said i have 5 elements input...

idea??

[gits]

just get the list of input-elements with:

var list = document.getElementsByTagName('input'); 
 

loop through the list and store the values the way you want ... you could even store the ids of the created nodes during the creation process and then loop over this ids and retrieve the values with:

var a = [];
 
for (var i = 0, n; n = id_list[i]; i++) {
    a.push(document.getElementById(n).value);
}

in this case a would have all values that correspond to the nodes with the stored ids in the list

kind regards
