Synopsis
Read-only
Returns the type of form control element. A SELECT
object has two possible values, depending on whether the element is
set to be a multiple-choice list. The value is returned in all
lowercase letters. It may be necessary to cycle through all form
elements in search of specific types to do some processing on (e.g.,
emptying all form controls of type “text” while leaving
other controls untouched).
Example
if (document.forms[0].elements[3].type == "select-multiple") { ... }
