When I'm running this code it is not showing me the message which I want to display (i.e: res).Suppose I'm giving an input "$code$".Can anyone just help me out?
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> </head> <body> <h1>Enter a sample message</h1> <form> <input type="text" name="a" id="a"> <button onclick="parse()">submit</button> <p id="a"></p> </form> <script> function parse(){ var msg=document.getElementById("a").innerHTML; var res=msg.replace("$code$","1101"); document.getElementById("a").innerHTML=res;//this is to print res. } </script> </body> </html>
Two elements can't have the same ID. Further, an input
element's value can not be obtained using the innerHTML
property. Also, on clicking the submit button, the page will reload since the form get's submitted. To prevent that, call the function parse
in an onsubmit
on the <form>
tag, and return false from the function.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Enter a sample message</h1>
<form onsubmit="return parse();">
<input type="text" name="a" id="a">
<button type="submit">submit</button>
<p id="b"></p>
</form>
<script>
function parse(){
var msg = document.getElementById("a").value;
document.getElementById("b").innerHTML = msg;
return false;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
