Getting the value of input text which is created through javascript

Question

I have done an option / list box in html form in which if i click 'Other' option, it will display an additional text field. I create the additional text field through javascript. The code is as below

<select name="how" class="subtitle" id="select" onchange="showfield(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)" style="width: 200px; height:30px;">>
                          <option selected="true" style="display:none;">Please select</option>
                          <option>School</option>
                          <option>Consultant</option>
                          <option>WhatApp</option>
                          <option>Brochure / Poster</option>
                          <option>Internet</option>
                          <option>Other</option>  
                        </select></td>

Java Script is as below

document.getElementById('div1').innerHTML='Other: <input id="othr" type="text" name="other" />';

It creates the text filed when 'Other' option is chosen. But how to get the value of other text field as the input tag is in the java script.
