so i want to validate by type.

Please anyone help me as fast as possible

You should note that you can still validate by the id. You just have to generate the javascript using php.

<script>
if(document.getElementById('<?php echo $row['elementid']; ?>').value.length <= 3) {
    alert("<?php echo $row['displayname']; ?> must be more than 3 character long");
}
</script>

or

<script>
function checkField(obj, objname) {
    if(obj.value.length <= 3) {
        alert(objname + ' must be more than 3 character long');
    }
}
</script>

<input id="<?php echo $row['elementid']; ?>" name="<?php echo $row['elementname']; ?>"type="text" onclick="checkField(this, '<?php echo $row[\'displayname\']; ?>')" /> <?php echo $row['displayname']; ?>

or

<script>
var elementidarray = new Array();
var i = 0;
</script>

<?php
$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
?>

 <script>
elementidarray[i] = '<?php echo $row['elementid']; ?>';
i = '<?php echo $i++; ?>';
</script>

<input id="<?php echo $row['elementid']; ?>" name="<?php echo $row['elementname']; ?>"type="text" /> <?php echo $row['displayname']; ?>

<?php
}

Oustside of doing it one of those ways you would have to look for all the input tags and other form tag

var allinputs = document.body.getElementsByTagName('input');

then loop through each to find the attributes

for (var i = 0; i < allinputs.length; i++) {
    if (allinputs[i].getAttribute('type') == 'text') {
        // check allinputs[i]
    }
