Script Preparation code:
var i, imax; var doc = document;
Tests:
form.elements
var formelem = doc.getElementById('testform').elements; for (i = 0, imax = formelem.length; i < imax; i += 1) { var elemvalue = formelem[i].value; }
getElementsByTagName
var formelem = doc.getElementById('testdiv').getElementsByTagName('input'); for (i = 0, imax = formelem.length; i < imax; i += 1) { var elemvalue = formelem[i].value; }
querySelectorAll
var formelem = doc.getElementById('testdiv').querySelectorAll('[data-unique]'); for (i = 0, imax = formelem.length; i < imax; i += 1) { var elemvalue = formelem[i].value; }
getElementsByClassName
var formelem = doc.getElementById('testdiv').getElementsByClassName('unique'); for (i = 0, imax = formelem.length; i < imax; i += 1) { var elemvalue = formelem[i].value; }
getElementsByName
var formelem = doc.getElementsByName('unique'); for (i = 0, imax = formelem.length; i < imax; i += 1) { var elemvalue = formelem[i].value; }
