Adding inputs into an array.

[Stax]

I want to make a script that will insert all text type inputs into an array. From there I want to be able to call them and edit them. Here is what I have so far and it is not working.

var phone1 = '702'
var inputArray = new Array();
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
inputs;
if (input.type == 'text') { inputArray.push(inputs.id); }
inputArray.reverse();

inputArray[0].value = phone1;

That code makes no sense.

var phone1 = '702'
var inputArray = [];
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for ( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; ++i )
{
    var input = inputs[i];
    if (input.type == 'text') { inputArray.push(input); }
}
// not sure why you are doing this:
inputArray.reverse();
inputArray[0].value = phone1;

You could do it more easily by giving all the relevant <input> fields the same name, if that would make sense in your other code.

the reverse is because the push adds them in incorrect order.

So run the loop in reverse order:

var inputArray = [];
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for ( var i = inputs.length - 1; i >= 0; --i )
{
    var input = inputs[i];
    if (input.type == 'text') { inputArray.push(input); }
}
inputArray[0].value = phone1;

You know, if you really only want to find the last <input> and don't need all the other elements, you could just do this:

var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for ( var i = inputs.length - 1; i >= 0; --i )
{
    if ( inputs[i].type == "text" )
    {
        inputs[i].value = phone1;
        break;
    }
}
