Finding the 'type' of an input element

If you want to check the type of input within form, use the following code:

<script>
    function getFind(obj) {
    for (i = 0; i < obj.childNodes.length; i++) {
        if (obj.childNodes[i].tagName == "INPUT") {
            if (obj.childNodes[i].type == "text") {
                alert("this is Text Box.")
            }
            else if (obj.childNodes[i].type == "checkbox") {
                alert("this is CheckBox.")
            }
            else if (obj.childNodes[i].type == "radio") {
                alert("this is Radio.")
            }
        }
        if (obj.childNodes[i].tagName == "SELECT") {
            alert("this is Select")
        }
    }
}
</script>     

<script>    
    getFind(document.myform);  
</script>

Check the type property. Would that suffice?
