How to send dynamically generated document elements to a server side script for data saving?

Show all headers | View raw

What I intend to do:
The page allows the user to add dynamic elements (and some of such elements would automatically have an image file associated with it).
that is, it allows a user to
document.createElement('span') etc.

I then, have a function to map all the document elements to a FORM element, specifically a Textarea tag with an id and name.

Problem:
I'm getting objects, instead of objects properties.
See below
[object HTMLHtmlElement][object HTMLHeadElement][object HTMLScriptElement]
...
So, what do I need to do to make it happen?

Thanks.


JavaScript looks like below:
// prepare page/document data for FORM submission
var prep = function() {
	// document.getElementById('myData').innerHTML = document.all;
	// turn them into array
	arr = [].slice.call(document.all);
	console.log("array length: " + arr.length);

	// copy each into FORM textarea field
	for (e = 0; e < arr.length; e++) {
		document.getElementById('myData').innerHTML += arr[e];
	}
	
};


Part of the HTML page looks like the following:
<textarea id="myData" name="myData" style="display:none"></textarea>

	<br/>
	<button onclick="prep(); console.log('verify: ' + document.getElementById('myData').innerHTML);return false;">Verify Data prior to submission</button>
