How to pass a form input value into a JavaScript function

I have a generic JavaScript function which takes one parameter

function foo(val) { ...} 

and I want to call the function when submit a form

<form>
<input type="text" id="formValueId"开发者_运维知识库/>
<input type="button" onclick="foo(this.formValueId)"/>
</form>

but the expression foo(this.formValueId) does not work (not surprised, it was a desperate attempt), So the question is, how can I pass a form value to the javascript function. As I mentioned the javascript is generic and I don't want to manipulate the form inside it!

I could create a helper function in the middle to get the form values with jQuery (for example) and then call the function but I was wondering if I can do it without the helper function.


It might be cleaner to take out your inline click handler and do it like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#button-id').click(function() {
      foo($('#formValueId').val());
    });
});


Give your inputs names it will make it easier

<form>
<input type="text" id="formValueId" name="valueId"/>
<input type="button" onclick="foo(this.form.valueId.value)"/>
</form>

UPDATE:

If you give your button an id things can be even easier:

<form>
<input type="text" id="formValueId" name="valueId"/>
<input type="button" id="theButton"/>
</form>

Javascript:

var button = document.getElementById("theButton"),
value =  button.form.valueId.value;
button.onclick = function() {
    foo(value);
}


Use onclick="foo(document.getElementById('formValueId').value)"


There are several ways to approach this. Personally, I would avoid in-line scripting. Since you've tagged jQuery, let's use that.

HTML:

<form>
    <input type="text" id="formValueId" name="valueId"/>
    <input type="button" id="myButton" />
</form>

JavaScript:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#myButton').click(function() {
      foo($('#formValueId').val());
    });
});


Well ya you can do that in this way.

    <input type="text" name="address" id="address">
        <div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div>
    <input type="button" onclick="showAddress(address.value)" value="ShowMap"/>

Java Script

function showAddress(address){

    alert("This is address :"+address)

}

That is one example for the same. and that will run.


More stable approach:

<form onsubmit="foo($("#formValueId").val());return false;">
<input type="text" id="formValueId"/>
<input type="submit" value="Text on the button"/>
</form>

The return false; is to prevent actual form submit (assuming you want that).
