A:
You mean this:
var form = document.createElement('form');
alert(form.nodeName);

Note that you can also use tagName but nodeName seems to be a better choice.

+1 `form.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "form"` will always work.

@Pekka, not *always*, it could be either upper or lowercase. Please read: http://ejohn.org/blog/nodename-case-sensitivity/ Other than that gotcha, yes, this is the way to do it.

I think that for HTML it is `form.nodeName == "FORM"` in all browsers. EDIT: what @Aistina said.

I would also convert it to (e.g.) uppercase before comparing, because I remember observing "FORM" string in firebug - probably case may vary

`nodeName` and `tagName` are precisely as good as each other in this situation where we know for certain that we're dealing with an element.
