HTML DOM Text Object
Text Object
The Text object represents a text-input field in an HTML form.
For each instance of an <input type="text"> tag
in an HTML form, a Text
object is created.
You can access a text-input field by searching through the elements[] array
of the form, or by using document.getElementById().
