JavaScript: How to set ID Attribute to all text inputs/textarea of a page

Well, sometimes we need to use ID Attributes of some HTML Elements of a web page. But, if any element lacks ID attribute, we’ll face trouble. So here is a script to automatically set IDs to all of your text <input type = “text”> tags and <textarea> Elements 😉

Tasks:

First we’ll check if the element already has an ID attribute [i.e <input type = “text” id = “myId”>]

If it does has an ID, we will not change it. Else, we will set an ID dynamically to the content.

What we actually do?

• Loop through all input elements
• Check if it is a text field. If yes, we check if it already have an ID
• If yes, continue. Else, dynamically set an iD
