Vista - getElemetById doesn't work in VBscipt

I'm writing code in VBscript for a web project and I find the getElementById
method
seems doesn't work in VBscipt.the code "set obj=eval('input1')" work,but
when the code is "set obj=document.getElement ById('input1')",I get "nothing"
by "msgbox typeName(obj)".what is the matter?

Your sample code has a typo (space) in "getElement ById".
And vbscript uses double-quotes for string literals...

If you didn't paste that, then show your actual code and the html fragment
defining "input1"

Maybe I've missed something, but I've never
understood why that function is necessary.
It works perfeclt well to just use input1 as an
object if there's an element with that ID in
the page.
getElementById"nothing"

in fact ,I have a lot of inputs in page ,and I have to iterate these inputs
and get their values.But it is probably that some inputs do not exist,so I
have to use getElemetById mothod to check if the input does exist(using eval
finction will get error),so my actual code is"for i=0 to n set
obj=document.getElemetById("input"&i) if not(obj is nothing )then
........",but everytime obj is returned as nothing,I have no idea what is the
matter and how to solve this problem.

Then there is a typo in the function call. You have the function as
getElemetById, when it should be getElemeNtById.

However, since it is fairly obvious that you are NOT using cut-and-
paste as Tim Williams suggested, it's almost impossible to determine
if that's your problem or not.
