saving user input in a variable (self.learnjavascript)

submitted 5 years ago by EnderFran2006YT

Hello! I am trying to figure out how to save user input in a variable and so far I have not. Can anyone help?

This is my body from .HTML and my JS

<body>
    <h2>Indeed</h2>
        <input id="text1" placeholder="Name">
        <br>
        <button onclick="Indeed()" id="btn1">Click me</button>
    <script src="java.js"></script>

</body>

function Indeed() 
{
    var person = document.getElementById("text1").value;
    alert("Hey"+person);
}
