Not only as insufficient as your first approach (see my other follow-up), 
but even more inefficient and error-prone.  If you are using a regular 
expression, you need to anchor it to prevent false positives, at least 
/^(input|select)$/i.  But you can do without such an expensive RegExp here.  
Finally, the “input” appears to be coming from your imagination only; read 
again.
