get value of input js
<!-- for simplicity's sake, I have the js code and html in the same file --> <!-- if you want to, you can add the js in another file and make a <script> tag and link it up to the html file --> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Get Text Input Field Value in JavaScript</title> </head> <body> <input type="text" placeholder="Type something..." id="myInput"> <button type="button" onclick="getInputValue();">Get Value</button> <script> function getInputValue(){ // Selecting the input element and get its value var inputVal = document.getElementById("myInput").value; // Displaying the value alert(inputVal); } </script> </body> </html>
