Get value from text area [duplicate]

February 4, 2023 by Tarik

Vanilla JS

document.getElementById("textareaID").value

$("#textareaID").val()

Cannot do the other way round (it’s always good to know what you’re doing)

document.getElementById("textareaID").value() // --> TypeError: Property 'value' of object #<HTMLTextAreaElement> is not a function

jQuery:

$("#textareaID").value // --> undefined
