I have been trying to figure out how to get all the input elements inside a div including select and textarea and pass them to editor, so far i figured out with input but i am just stuck with the rest.
Here is the code so far
function InsertShortcode(elem) {
var shortcodeName = elem.parentElement.id;
var inputs = document.getElementById(shortcodeName).getElementsByTagName('input'), i=0, e;
var inputs_val = '[' + shortcodeName;
while(e=inputs[i++]){
if(e.id){
inputs_val += ' ' + e.id + '="' + e.value + '"';
}
}
inputs_val += ']';
window.send_to_editor(inputs_val);
}
By this i am able to grab all the inputs inside a div where submit button is but still i am not sure how to grab textarea or select inputs.
The problem is that i have to make it dynamic. I will have many "shortcodes" and each will be in it's own div
where the button is. But each will have it's own inputs which i can't control so i need to grab them all and send values to editor. Here's example of the code.
<div class="output-shortcodes">
<?php foreach( $theme_shortcodes as $key => $name ) { ?>
<div id="<?php echo $key ?>">
<p>
<h2><?php echo $name ?></h2>
</p>
<?php $form = $key . '_form';
if(function_exists($form)) {
$form(); // this is where the input fields are dynamically created on each shortcode.
}
?>
<button class="button-primary" onclick="InsertShortcode(this)">Insert shortcode</button>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
Use jQuery and the :input
pseudo selector:
$('.output-shortcodes').find(':input');
That simple.

Or wrap it in a <form>
, then you can use:
document.getElementById("outputForm").elements...
