Suppose I have the following HTML code, how can I pass the user's input to execute(str) JavaScript function as an argument?
<body>
<input name="textbox1" type="text" />
<input name="buttonExecute" onclick="execute(//send the user's input in textbox1 to this function//)" type="button" value="Execute" />
</body>
You could either access the element’s value by its name:
document.getElementsByName("textbox1"); // returns a list of elements with name="textbox1"
document.getElementsByName("textbox1")[0] // returns the first element in DOM with name="textbox1"
So:
<input name="buttonExecute" onclick="execute(document.getElementsByName('textbox1')[0].value)" type="button" value="Execute" />
Or you assign an ID to the element that then identifies it and you can access it with getElementById:
<input name="textbox1" id="textbox1" type="text" />
<input name="buttonExecute" onclick="execute(document.getElementById('textbox1').value)" type="button" value="Execute" />
As opposed to passing the text as a variable, you can use the DOM to retrieve the data in your function:
var text = document.getElementsByName("textbox1").value;
getElementsByName (plural).You could just get the input value in the onclick-event like so:
onclick="execute(document.getElementById('textbox1').value);"
You would of course have to add an id to your textbox
This is what I have done. (Adapt from all of your answers)
<input name="textbox1" type="text" id="txt1"/>
<input name="buttonExecute" onclick="execute(document.getElementById('txt1').value)" type="button" value="Execute" />
It works. Thanks to all of you. :)
if I have understood correct the question :
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Passing values</TITLE>
<style>
</style>
</HEAD>
Give a number :<input type="number" id="num"><br>
<button onclick="MyFunction(num.value)">Press button...</button>
<script>
function MyFunction(num) {
document.write("<h1>You gave "+num+"</h1>");
}
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>document.getElementById('textbox1').value
You can get textbox value and Id by the following simple example in dotNet programming
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function GetTextboxId_Value(textBox)
{
alert(textBox.value); // To get Text Box Value(Text)
alert(textBox.id); // To get Text Box Id like txtSearch
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="txtSearch" type="text" onkeyup="GetTextboxId_Value(this)" /> </body>
</html>
