How to display the value of a html user input using JavaScript when a button is clicked? I've tried, but it gives "[object HTMLInputElement]" instead of the user entered value.
Here's code.
<body>
<p>8 + 7 = ....</p>
<input type="text" name="ans" id="ans1" placeholder="Enter your answer here">
<button type="button" onclick="Game()">OK</button>
<button type="button" onclick="Clear()">Cancel</button>
<br><br>
<h1>A Simple Math Game</h1>
<p>
<strong>Question 1</strong>
<span id="question1"></span>
<span id="answer1"></span>
<span id="feedback"></span>
</p>
<script>
document.getElementById("question1").innerHTML= "8 + 7 = ...";
function Game() {
let user = document.getElementById("answer1").innerHTML= ans1;
}
</script>
Here's the output I got.
8 + 7 = ....32 OK(button) Cancel(button)
A Simple Math Game Question 1 8 + 7 = ... [object HTMLInputElement] // this is the problem..!
<body>
<p>8 + 7 = ....</p>
<input type="text" name="ans" id="ans1" placeholder="Enter your answer here">
<button type="button" onclick="Game()">OK</button>
<button type="button" onclick="Clear()">Cancel</button>
