}

<input type="text" id="textbox" name="textbox" style="width:90%;">
<a id="send" style="display:none;" onclick="send()" href="">Send</a>

Answer 1

If you want to get the value of "textbox" with the following instruction:

var txt = document.getElementById("textbox");

Then you need to correct it like this:

var txt = document.getElementById("textbox").value;
