Get input value in JavaScript without using jQuery?
html, javascript, jquery
Solution
You can get the value by targeting the ID. Where `inputID` is the ID of your input or textarea:
document.getElementById('inputID').value;
You can also do it by targeting the name attribute. Where `inputID` is the Name of your input or textarea:
document.getElementsByName('inputID')[0].value;
Problem
Let's say I have an input field like this: ``` <input type="text" id="input" value="This is my value"> ``` How can I get the attribute value? In jQuery, I can easily get it with: ``` $('#input').val() //-> This is my value ``` How do I do so using pure JavaScript?
