GetElementbyID Issue

[Chico Che]

We have a third-party web application that is used for data entry, using
the IE developer we have the ids of four textboxes that have data that we
need to pass to a client application. Is it possible to create a button in
ie or firefox that would get the values on the open browser window and send
output. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to create maybe a ie toolbar button that would grab data
from those two text boxes(id is known already from ie developer bar).

It sounds like what you want is a bookmarklet, so it's very possible.

It's important to note the lowercase "d" in Id. getElementById returns
the DOM object of an element using the ID specified.

It is also important to know that document.getEle mentById() may return a
value that is not convertible to an object reference in which case the
`return' statement as it is will cause a runtime error.

A possible fix:

function grabInputConten ts(id)
{
var input = document.getEle mentById(id);
return input ? input.value : "";
}

BTW, your indentation and quoting sucks.
