How can I use querySelectorAll() to select all input elements of a specific type (e.g., all text inputs or all checkboxes) within a specific form?

You can use `querySelectorAll()` in combination with a CSS attribute selector to select all input elements of a specific type within a specific form. Here's how you can do it:
1. Give your form an `id` attribute so that you can easily target it. For example, `<form id="myForm">`.
2. Use the `querySelectorAll()` method on the form element and specify the input type using the attribute selector `[type=""]`.
JavaScript:
```javascript
// Select the form element by its id
const form = document.getElementById('myForm');
// Select all text inputs within the form
const textInputs = form.querySelectorAll('input[type="text"]');
console.log(textInputs);
// Select all checkboxes within the form
const checkboxes = form.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');
console.log(checkboxes);
```
In this example, the `textInputs` variable will hold a NodeList of all text input elements within the form, and the `checkboxes` variable will hold a NodeList of all checkbox elements within the form.
