How to know the type of the DOM object

I wonder if via JS or Jquery, there is a way for me to identify the type of DOM object I am manipulating.

For example, I make the following selector: $('#filtos select, #filtos input').each(function (index, obj).....);

Within this each I’ll have objects <select>, <input> of the kind text, checkbox among others. I would like to know if you have any property that tells me what kind of these elements.

    obj.tagname

  • @Brunorb , that’s right thanks. Can answer the question without being like comment.

  • What do you need it for? Wouldn’t it be better to make two selectors separately? Or maybe you can use a common function instead of doing different things for each type of field.

Wear something like that:

$('#filtos select, #filtos input').each(function (index, obj) {
    var $this = $(obj)

    var meu_elemento = $this[0].tagName;

     if (meu_elemento == 'input') {
          var meu_tipo = $this.attr('type');
     }        
});
