HTML5 Form - Input name=

[careyd]

Inside of a <form>, is the input name=( fieldname1 ) able to be addressed in JavaScript as a variable? such as {fieldname1 == fieldname2}

You have to access the element using DOM methods. The easiest way is to give the element an ID. Once you have the element, you have to use the value property to get the user's input.

 

HTML

<input id="form-input" type="text" name="field-name">

Javascript

// Get the elementvar element = document.getElementById("form-input");// Get its valuevar value = element.value;// Do something with the value, for example:if(value == "something") {    // Do something}
