I'm trying something simple, just to get the text value inside a p:inputText thought Javascript, but I`m not getting it.
Perhaps it's a different procedure with Primefaces, since if I don't use that, I don't encounter the problem.

My code:

<p:inputText value=any text widgetVar=youtlink ></p:inputText>

        <p:commandButton value=Search    onclick=loadPlayer(); icon=ui-icon-search />  





<script type=text/javascript>

    function loadPlayer() {

        alert(youtlink.text);

    }

</script>

I have tried also with JQuery but also no success.

Rendered view:

<form id=editlFrm enctype=application/x-www-form-urlencoded method=post

name=editlFrm>

    <input id=editlFrm:j_id_7 class=ui-inputfield ui-inputtext ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all

    type=text value=assd name=editlFrm:j_id_7 role=textbox aria-disabled=false

    aria-readonly=false aria-multiline=false>

    <button id=editlFrm:j_id_8 class=ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all ui-button-text-icon-left

    type=submit onclick=loadPlayer();;PrimeFaces.ab({source:'editlFrm:j_id_8'});return false;

    name=editlFrm:j_id_8 role=button aria-disabled=false>
