HTML DOM Input Search object

Input Search object

Input Search objects are new to HTML5.

The Input Search object represents an HTML-lt;input> element that uses type"search".

You can use the getElementById() function to access the elements that use the type-"search" property:

var x = document.getElementById("mySearch"); try it

Tip: You can also access the Input Search object through the form's collection of elements.

You can use the document.createElement() method to create an element that uses the type-"search" property:

var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "search"); try it
