JavaScript: Count inputfields in a Div

Question

I have a <div id="inputform"> and in that div there are multiple <input type="text"> . How can I count the number of <input> fields?

Answer 1

var inputFormDiv = document.getElementById('inputForm');
alert(inputFormDiv.getElementsByTagName('input').length);

Answer 2

Using jQuery you would be able to count the number of elements of a certain type, class, etc. using the following line of JavaScript

$("div#inputForm input").length

If you're not using jQuery, take a look at Brian's answer, it should do what you need it to.

Answer 3

$('#inputform input[type="text"]').length;
