Javascript-HTML - how to iterate through all the forms on a page?

Question

How can I iterate through all forms in a document using javascript?

Answer 1

Here's an example using the document.forms instead of getElementsByTagName().

As with the getElementsByTagName() example this goes through all the forms and does a popup alert with the action (instead of name, as it is more likely to be set).

var formsCollection;
var r;

formsCollection=document.forms;

for(r=0;r

This can be condensed down and of course the popup changed to something useful but I have tried to keep it simple.
