How to select an input element by value using javascript?

Question

I\'ve seen it\'s jquery equivalent:

$(\'input[value=\"something\"]\');

But how do you select it using pure javascript (no jQuery).

Answer 1

with ie6-ie7-ie8

function getInputsByValue(value)
{
    var allInputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
    var results = [];
    for(var x=0;x

with modern browsers ie9+ (? not sure for ie9 actually) :

document.querySelectorAll("input[value=something]");
