Get Form Value Through JS

[ziycon]

I have this code below, how can i get the value from the date input box when i click on the button?

<input type="text" name="date" size="10" onfocus="showCalendarControl(this);" readonly="readonly" />
<input type="submit" value="Refresh" onclick="getcontent(\'../../map.php?id=1&value=\'+this.value,\'map\');" />

There's a number of ways:
1. using this.form.date
2. using document.forms[formName].elements["date"]
3. setting an id "date" and using document.getEle mentById("date" )

If you reference the text field via:
var someVar = document.getEle mentById("date" );

To retrieve the value within just append .value:
var someValue = someVar.value;
or
var someValue = document.getEle mentById("date" ).value;
