Get input value in JavaScript without using jQuery? [closed]

Question

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?

Answer 1

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;
