All elements in a form?

[TheGoldenShogun]

I'm looking for a Javascript that can go through all the elements (checkboxes, textboxes, etc) in a form of mine onLoad and test to see if their value equals something, then do an action. Does anybody know a way of doing it? I have seen some form validation that use the onSubmit="functionName(this)" in the form tag but that doesn't seem to work with an onload.

is the form being loaded from a database?

Is it something like this you are looking for?

It counts all the items on the page and displays a loading message until its loaded.

Thanks for the replies but I figured it out with trial and error
Here's what I came up with (there are 55 checkboxes I'm working with).

for (x=0; x<56; x++)
{
if (document.forms[0].elements[x].value == '<? echo($loadName); ?>')
{
doSomeStuff(now);
}

}
