[jQuery] Re: Type of Control
This is also one good way to get the type of the control. But is there
any generic function that I can extend with jQuery in which I pass the
control id and it returns me the type of the control whether it be
div, span, select, textarea etc etc.

If you try $(#mycontrolid).attr('type'), you should find the type of

How can I check what is the type of control. eg.
In javascript document.getElementById(mycontrolid).type will return

How can I find it in jQuery. I tried as
$(#mycontrolid).constructor but it returns as Object in all cases.

[jQuery] Re: Type of Control
It depends on what you mean by type of control. Do you mean any html
element? Any form control? As for the tag name, you can get that of any
element by it's id like so
var tagName = $(#theId).attr(tagName);
That won't help you with any of the input controls that share the INPUT
tagName, which is where you would want to use .attr(type) as Kayhadrin
suggested. So you could write a jquery plugin that returned tagName, unless
it was INPUT, and in that case returned type. That about what you're looking
for?
