Traverse a HTML document using DOM

[BigBadBurrow]

Hello,

I would like to traverse a HTML document and set all textfields to "Hello World", does anyone know how I could do this using DOM?

I don't know the names of the text fields on the web page, so what I'd like to do is traverse the HTML tree checking if the current element is <input and whether type="text" if so then do value="Hello World"

I'm new to javascript/DOM so I'm not really sure how to get started. If you have any idea then it would be most welcomed!

Thanks

// Make sure browser supports this DOM method 
if(!document.getElementsByTagName ) return; 
// Get the input nodes 
var inputNodeList = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT"); 
// Make sure something was found 
if(!inputNodeList ) return; 
// Iterate through the list 
for( var i = 0; i < inputNodeList.length; i++ ) 
{ 
  // Get an individual node 
  var inputNode = inputNodeList.item(i); 
   
  if( inputNode.type.toLowerCase() == "text" ) 
  { 
   inputNode.value = "Hello World"; 
  } 
} 

Hope that helps.
