Javascript lesson 3 - accepting input from user using message box or html form

In today's lesson, we talk about how to accept input from a message box or an HTML form from the user, and process that input to output a message to either a blank page or a section of the original page. We briefly mention the concept of objects which we will talk more about later.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. About 18 years ago, I learned enough html to manage a simple website for my small business. Four months ago, I decided it was time to bring my site up to date and finally bit the css bullet for the first time. It opened a whole new world for me. Last week I decided it was time to learn JavaScript. So yesterday I'm about half way through the w3schools tutorials and I get this strange urge to write a script that will allow someone to enter a temperature in Fahrenheit then display the Celsius conversion on a page. So I'm researching hard all day until late in the evening with no success in getting a result to display and go to bed very confused. This morning I stumbled upon your video after doing a Youtube search for "use javascript to enter a value". After studying your method and doing a little trial and error, I got it to work!!! I know I'm a newb and all when it comes to JavaScript, but now I feel I'm on my way! I'm for sure subscribing to your channel.

Thank you for making this video. I love the fact that you use notepad and you explain the concepts very well.

LOL. you really are a really good tutor.:) I am taking JavaScript and I have yet to understand what they teach me but you made it so simple. I understood everything you explained and even learned new things too. by the way, thanks for not using all of those crazy and confusing terms that most YouTubers and even teachers use. it made things much more simple and clear.

This tutorial was very helpful on demonstrating how to retrieve information that is typed into the input field and displaying the information on to the screen or as it is called the DOM. Thanks for that bit of information.Now, I would if you could make a tutorial on how to add multiple elements from the input field and displaying on the DOM.

I was really hoping for a video on a separate Javascript code file that is linked to the html page to perform just that. Isn't it frowned upon to write javascript code in your html?

[rohinikumari]

is it possible to fix the default values so that when we open the page we can change the values manually ?

[rathibcom]

I need to calculate all operation using array from single textbox.. simply like a calculator.. Store the value, calculate the values and display result
