Make an array of input name attributes Javascript

Question

How can I make an array using a loop which contains the name attributes of inputs inside a form tag, using javascript.

This is my code so far, but it doesn't seem to be working and I have looked at other similar questions to no avail.

      <script type="text/javascript">

      var inputnames[];

      for (var i = 0; i < document.getElementsByTagName('input').length; i++)

      {

      inputnames[document.getElementsByTagName("input")[i].name]

      };

      document.write(inputnames)

      </script>

The issue is that you're not actually adding the values to the array. Change

inputnames[document.getElementsByTagName("input")[i].name]

to

inputnames.push(document.getElementsByTagName("input")[i].name)
