Give an id to input field:

<input type=text id=configname name=configname />

Now modify click handler as follows:

<input type=button value=Submit 

  onclick=onLoadConfigPress(document.getElementById('configname').value) />

Or if you have only one form on that page, you could also use forms array:

<input type=button value=Submit 

  onclick=onLoadConfigPress(document.forms[0].configname.value) />
