Hey so I am new to using JS and HTML and still practicing the language, I am trying to print out the user name of both players but without using alert. I want to print the player's names and later going to change it up using CSS but having trouble with the simplest way of printing user inputs I have this so far and was wondering why it is not working, any help will be appreciated.
function welcome(){
var first = document.getElementById("FirstName").value;
var last = document.getElementById("LastName").value;
var Print_name = "Welcome " + first +" "+ last;
console.log(Print_name);
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Print Names</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="get">
<label for="Player1Name">Player 1 Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="Player1Name" name="player1Name" placeholder="Name"><br>
<label for="Player2Name">Player 2 Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="Player2Name" name="player2Name" placeholder="Name"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btn">
</form>
<script>
/*javascript code here*/
</script>
</body>
</html>
You should find an HTML element (with id="Player1Name") and (with id="Player2Name").
Try it code in HTML
<input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btn" onclick="welcome()">
Try it code in JavaScript
function welcome(){
var first = document.getElementById("Player1Name").value;
var last = document.getElementById("Player2Name").value;
var Print_name = "Welcome " + first +" "+ last;
alert(Print_name);
}
your document.getElementById is referencing the wrong Id.
So if you text field is defined as
<input type="text" **id="Player1Name"** name="player1Name" placeholder="Name">
Then what you should be doing is document.getElementById("Player1Name").value
The same goes with the Player2Name field.

If i had a button and an input field. How would i alert whatever is in the input field to the user, when the button is clicked.
Explain your code please.
Make it as simple as possible.
<input type="text" id="input" />
<button onclick="displayEnteredText()">Display</button>
<script>
function displayEnteredText() {
var inputText = document.getElementById("input"); // get the element with id "input" which is the textField
alert(inputText.value); // show the value of the input in alert message
}
</script>
One possible approach:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<input id="name" value="">
<input type="button" value="show me the name" onclick="alert(document.getElementById('name').value)">
</body>
</html>
Another possible approach:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function () {
var buttonElement = document.getElementById('button');
buttonElement.addEventListener('click', function() {
alert(document.getElementById('name').value);
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="name" value="">
<input id="button" type="button" value="show me the name">
</body>
</html>
With the second approach you can separate responsabilities, one person can create de html, and another person can focus in create javascript code.
Exists several ways to do this, but with two examples i think is enough in the current context
<body>
<input type="text" name="basicText" id="alertInput">
<button class="alertButton">Click me!</button>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(".alertButton").click(function(){
var value = $("#alertInput").val();
alert(value + " was entered");
});
</script>
In order to show what you typed in your alert, you need to reference the value inside the textbox. Since jquery is tagged in the post, I used it to get what's in the text box.
You can also try this one
HTML
<input type="button" id="btnclick" style="width:100px" value="Click Me" />
<input type="text" id="txtbox">
JS
$("#btnclick").click(function(){
var txtvalue = $("#txtbox").val();
alert("User enter " + txtvalue);
})

There is an element on my page with the id last_name. I would like to get its value and pass it along to my input tag.
I am essentially trying to do something like this (doesn't work).
<input type="hidden" name="lastName" value=document.getElementById("last_name").value>
Is there anyway to do this?
This is not only on load.
Essentially, I have a bunch of textboxes grouped together in a form.
Then I have another form with a button. When the user hits the button, I want my input tags' values be the current values entered in the textboxes.
EDIT: Thanks all! Got it work. I essentially had to remove the "value" attribute of the input tags and then add an "onclick" attribute to my button and then call those javascript codes you guys provided me.
for only loading page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- link here your JQuery library -->
<script>
$(function(){
$('#lastName').val($('#last_name').val());
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="last_name" value="123">
<input type="hidden" name="lastName" value="">
</body>
</html>
for button click:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- link here your JQuery library -->
<script>
$(function(){
$('#btn-save').on('click', function() {
$('#lastName').val($('#last_name').val());
// other work
return false;
}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="last_name" value="123">
<input type="hidden" name="lastName" value="">
<button id="btn-save">Save</button>
</body>
</html>
without jQuery use:
<script>
window.onload = function(){
var src = getElementById('last_name');
var dst = getElementById('lastName');
dst.value = stc.value;
}
</script>
Try this:
var lastName = document.getElementById("last_name");
var input = document.getElementById("yourInputId");
input.value = lastName.value;
Try the following code
HTML
<input type="hidden" name="lastName" id='hidLastName' />
and javascript code:
var input = document.getElementById("hidLastName")
input.value = document.getElementById("last_name").value
You should move the logic to a .js file or inside a <script></script> element. Preferrably the former. Try something like this:
Put an id to the receiving input:
<input type="hidden" id="lastName" name="lastName">
And this to your .js file
window.onload = function(){
var lastNameInput = document.getElementById('lastName');
var sourceInput = document.getElementById('last_name');
lastNameInput.value = sourceInput.value;
}
Try This:
Java Script
<script>
function setInput() {
document.getElementById("lastname").value = document.getElementById("last_name").value;
}
</script>
HTML
<input type="text" id="last_name" onblur="setInput()"/>
<input type="hidden" id="lastname" />
Let's say I have a variable called x in javascript. How can I set the value of a text input (HTML) to that variable? For example:
The value of the input will now be Swag
<input type="text" value="Swag" />
But if I want the value to be a javascript variable? How do I do? Something like this? (I am just guessing, trying to make my point clear)
<input type="text" value="variable.x" />
You can set it in your javascript code like:
<input id="myInput" type="text" value="Swag" />
<script>
var test = "test";
document.getElementById("myInput").value = test;
</script>
This is a better solution and will probably avoid confusion for newbies...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Input and Display Message</h1>
<p>Enter a message</p>
<input type="text" id="msg" ><br>
<button onclick="displayMessage()">Click me</button>
<p id="showinputhere"></p>
<script>
function displayMessage(){
let themsg = document.getElementById("msg").value;
if (themsg){
document.getElementById("showinputhere").innerHTML = themsg;
}
else{
document.getElementById("showinputhere").innerHTML = "No message set";
}
}
</script>

I want when a user enter number in the textbox and click set, textboxes appear based on the number he entered and this what I come up with but it is not working please help
<html>
<head>
<script>
function generate(){
var a=parseInt(document.getElementById("nochapter").value);
for (i=0;i<=a,i++){
document.getElementById("ch").innerHTML="<input type='text' >"}}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Prepare new assessment</h1>
<form>
No. of Chapter included <input type="text" id="nochapter" >
<input type ="button" value="set" onclick="generate()">
<div id="ch"></div>
Your code should be like this.
Is better append an input element to the div.
<head>
<script>
function generate() {
var a = parseInt(document.getElementById("nochapter").value);
var ch = document.getElementById("ch");
for (i = 0; i < a; i++) {
var input = document.createElement("input");
ch.appendChild(input);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Prepare new assessment</h1>
<form>
No. of Chapter included
<input type="text" id="nochapter" />
<input type="button" value="set" onclick="generate()" />
<div id="ch"></div>
</form>
</body>
There is small glitch in your written code
for (i=0;i<=a,i++) --> for (i=0;i<=a;i++)
even if you change that it will generate only one text box because you are replacing innerHTML for every iteration. so prepare the string separately based on no of iteration and assign it to innerrHTML. it should work.
I have a form code tat will allow the user to enter information. I'm trying to display certain parts of that information onto a new page using javascript. Basically, the page is meant to have the user enter information and have the name, date, time, and email display in a new tab or page. But I can't seem to have it displayed. Can anyone help me?

I was working on this for a lot of time, but it wasn't working. But, I tried it recently and it worked! I hope this was helpful.
<html>
<head>
<h1> Welcome</h1>
</head>
<body>
<p> Enter name: </p>
<input id="name" name="name"class="Name" type="text" placeholder="Enter Full name" required>`
<input type="Submit" onclick="submitted()"> <br> <br>
<a id="new" href="www.google.com"> </a>
<script>
function submitted()
{
var a = document.getElementById("name").value;
if (a=="")
{
document.getElementById("new").innerHTML="";
alert("Please Enter a valid name!");
}
else if (a==" ") {
document.getElementById("new").innerHTML=""
alert("Please Enter a valid name!");
}
else
{
document.getElementById("new").innerHTML="Thank you, " + a + ". " + "Click here to continue.";
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Or, slightly tightened, as a working snippet:
function submitted()
{
var a = document.getElementById("name").value.trim();
document.getElementById("new").innerHTML=
a===""?"":"Thank you, " + a + ". " + "Click here to continue.";
}
<p> Enter name: </p>
<input id="name" name="name"class="Name" type="text" placeholder="Enter Full name" required>
<input type="Submit" onclick="submitted()"> <br> <br>
<a id="new" href="www.google.com"> </a>
The problem with your code was that you were using document.write in a dynamic setting. When using it in this context, document.write will erase the content of the current document and replace it with the text specified by its parameters. For this reason, document.write is commonly regarded as poor way to represent and insert text/data. And it typically affects the plethora of beginners learning JavaScript. Here are some alternatives you should keep in mind:
element.innerHTML: Like I said in the comments. Use .innerHTML to insert the formatted HTML into document through an element on the page. It doesn't necessarily have to be specified by an id attribute. It can very well be given by any other form of element obtainment.
node.appendChild: This method is more DOM-friendly than the first. It allows you to insert a node at the end of the body of the element specified by node. For example:
var form = document.myForm,
new_element = document.createElement('input');
new_element.type = "button";
new_element.value = "Submit";
form.appendChild( new_element );
I hope this helped.
