You can get the text of an input text box during the onkeypress
event in JavaScript by accessing the value
property of the input element.
Here’s how you can do it:
HTML:
<input type="text" id="myInput" onkeypress="getText(event)">
JavaScript:
<script>
function getText(event) {
const inputText = event.target.value;
console.log(inputText);
}
</script>
In this example, we have an input text box with the id
“myInput”.
We’ve added an onkeypress
event handler to the input element, which calls the getText
function when a key is pressed.
In the getText
function, we access the value
property of the input element using event.target.value
. This gives us the current value of the input text box.
We can then use this value as needed. In this example, we’re logging it to the console.
This will log the text of the input text box to the console every time a key is pressed.
