Let's say I have an input field like this:

<input type=text id=input value=This is my value>

How can I get the attribute value? In jQuery, I can easily get it with:

$('#input').val() //-> This is my value

How do I do so using pure JavaScript?

You can get the value by targeting the ID.

Where inputID is the ID of your input or textarea:

document.getElementById('inputID').value;

You can also do it by targeting the name attribute.

Where inputID is the Name of your input or textarea:

document.getElementsByName('inputID')[0].value;
