Dynamic forms into Javascript objects?

undefined

I have a JavaScript question today.
I have a form with lots of input elements whose names I can't hard-code into the JavaScript. I have to be prepared for anything that might be there.
On a certain event I want to grab the values of all the input elements and put them into a JavaScript object, each as a property, with the name of the input becoming the name of the property.
I can get a nodelist of all the input elements in the form, as follows:
- var inputs = document.getElementById ("myDialog").getElementsByTagName ("input");
Now, I have a global called myValues that I want to get all the values from the inputs into.
This is what I think the loop should look like (but it doesn't work).
- for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
  - myValues [inputs [i].name] = inputs [i].value;
  - }
I've looked at various Stack Overflow pages, of course.
Any help much appreciated!
Update: It works. :-)
- Here's the actual test app.

- I think the mistake I was making was initializing appPrefs to [] when it should have been {}.
- Still getting my wobbly JS sea legs to settle down. :-)
- Thanks for all the help!!
