Get all input fields inside div (without JS library)

Question

What's the easiest way to get all input fields inside a div without using a javascript library like jQuery? Similar to this jQuery snippet:

var inputs = $('#mydiv :input');

Answer 1

document.getElementById('mydiv').getElementsByTagName('input')

Answer 2

Try:

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

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

getElementsByTagName

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

If you are on modern browsers (ie9+) you can take advantage of querySelectorAll‎.

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