I was just trying to write a simple javascript program that will demonstrate to take user input from text field, and clicking the button will display the summation result of those number in a paragraph. But unfortunately the below code is not working. Clicking the button shows NAN in the Paragraph.
<input type="text" name="" id="num1"><br><br>
<input type="text" name="" id="num2"><br> <br>
<button id="add">Answer</button>
<br>
<p id="para"></p>
<script>
let num1=parseInt(document.getElementById("num1"));
let num2=parseInt(document.getElementById("num2"));
let add=document.getElementById("add");
add.addEventListener("click",function(){
document.getElementById("para").innerHTML=num1+num2;
});
</script>
You are getting the elementById, but not getting that IDs value.
Add .value on the end of your getElementById
function addTogether()
{
var val1 = document.getElementById('val1').value;
var val2 = document.getElementById('val2').value;
var sum = parseInt(val1) + parseInt(val2);
console.log(sum);
}<input type="text" id="val1" />
<input type="text" id="val2" />
<input type="button" value="Add Them Together" onclick="addTogether();" />you need to get the value of num1 and num2 and you need to get the value after you click -- so inside your function
<input type="text" name="" id="num1"><br><br>
<input type="text" name="" id="num2"><br> <br>
<button id="add">Answer</button>
<br>
<p id="para"></p>
<script>
let add=document.getElementById("add");
add.addEventListener("click",function(){
let num1=parseInt(document.getElementById("num1").value);
let num2=parseInt(document.getElementById("num2").value);
document.getElementById("para").innerHTML=num1+num2;
});
</script>You can simply do it like this
<input type="text" id="num1"><br><br>
<input type="text" id="num2"><br><br>
<button id="add">Answer</button><br>
<p id="para"></p>
<script>
let add=document.getElementById("add");
add.addEventListener("click",function(){
var num1 = document.getElementById('num1').value;
var num2 = document.getElementById('num2').value;
var res = parseInt(num1) + parseInt(num2);
document.getElementById("para").innerHTML = res ;
});
</script>
here is the demo of working code
let add=document.getElementById("add");
add.addEventListener("click",function(){
var num1 = document.getElementById('num1').value;
var num2 = document.getElementById('num2').value;
var res = parseInt(num1) + parseInt(num2);
document.getElementById("para").innerHTML = res ;
});<input type="text" id="num1"><br><br>
<input type="text" id="num2"><br><br>
<button id="add">Answer</button>
<br>
<p id="para"></p>
