getElementsByTagName

querySelector and querySelectorAll will fetch the details of what you're expecting easily.

var divElem = document.getElementById("myDiv");
var inputElements = divElem.querySelectorAll("input, select, checkbox, textarea");

It will give all the input, select, textarea elements in array format.

document.getElementById("mydiv").getElementsByTagName("input");

var inputs = document.querySelectorAll‎('#myDiv input');

Try:

var inputs = document.getElementById('mydiv').getElementsByTagName('input');
