Input element detection in IE

Jun 1 '11, 06:04 AM

Code:

var el = document.getElementById('element-id'); alert(el);

Mozilla returns its class name(HTMLInputE lement) but IE returns Object.
In mozilla if i do

Code:

alert(el instanceof HTMLInputElement)

, returns true; but in IE, it says HTMLInputElemen t is undefined. Even if i do

Code:

alert(el instanceof Object)

in IE, it says false.

How do i detect exact object type in IE?

it seems like IE is restricting the access to certain interfaces, from what I have seen you would have to test for nodeType and tagName.
