Javascript reading html input values

Question

I am trying to make a Javascript script that asks the user to enter details about a book, and then it generates an MLA style citation for it. The following is my HTML code.

Answer 1

Check your code properly. You've used the object instead of id.

var fname = document.getElementById('fname');

document.getElementById("cite").innerHTML=document.getElementById( fname );

Use this instead

document.getElementById("cite").innerHTML=document.getElementById('fname');
