How do I get the value of text input field using JavaScript?
I am working on a search with JavaScript. I would use a form, but it messes up something else on my page. I have this input text field:
<input name="searchTxt" type="text" maxlength="512" id="searchTxt" class="searchField"/>
And this is my JavaScript code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function searchURL(){
window.location = "http://www.myurl.com/search/" + (input text value);
}
</script>
How do I get the value from the text field into JavaScript?
There are various methods to get an input textbox value directly (without wrapping the input element inside a form element):
Method 1:
document.getElementById('textbox_id').value to get the value of desired box
For example, document.getElementById("searchTxt").value;
Note: Method 2,3,4 and 6 returns a collection of elements, so use [whole_number] to get the desired occurrence. For the first element, use [0], for the second one use 1, and so on...
Method 2:
Use document.getElementsByClassName('class_name')[whole_number].value which returns a Live HTMLCollection
For example, document.getElementsByClassName("searchField")[0].value; if this is the first textbox in your page.
Method 3:
Use document.getElementsByTagName('tag_name')[whole_number].value which also returns a live HTMLCollection
For example, document.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value; , if this is the first textbox in your page.
Method 4:
document.getElementsByName('name')[whole_number].value which also >returns a live NodeList
For example, document.getElementsByName("searchTxt")[0].value; if this is the first textbox with name 'searchtext' in your page.
Method 5:
Use the powerful document.querySelector('selector').value which uses a CSS selector to select the element
For example, document.querySelector('#searchTxt').value; selected by id
document.querySelector('.searchField').value; selected by class
document.querySelector('input').value; selected by tagname
document.querySelector('[name="searchTxt"]').value; selected by name
Method 6:
document.querySelectorAll('selector')[whole_number].value which also uses a CSS selector to select elements, but it returns all elements with that selector as a static Nodelist.
For example, document.querySelectorAll('#searchTxt')[0].value; selected by id
document.querySelectorAll('.searchField')[0].value; selected by class
document.querySelectorAll('input')[0].value; selected by tagname
document.querySelectorAll('[name="searchTxt"]')[0].value; selected by name

//creates a listener for when you press a key
window.onkeyup = keyup;
//creates a global Javascript variable
var inputTextValue;
function keyup(e) {
//setting your input text to the global Javascript Variable for every key press
inputTextValue = e.target.value;
//listens for you to press the ENTER key, at which point your web address will change to the one you have input in the search box
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
window.location = "http://www.myurl.com/search/" + inputTextValue;
}
}
在codepen中看到这个功能。
I would create a variable to store the input like this:
var input = document.getElementById("input_id").value;
And then I would just use the variable to add the input value to the string.
= "Your string" + input;
