I am trying to get the value of an input in real time but I can't get it
I'm trying that in the bottom button the first X is the amount of carrots specified in the input above, and in the second X is a number that will be calculated in a script, all in real time (if the input number changes, the bottom ones will change automatically) but for that I need a way to get the value of the input in real time
Here's the code, I'm using express-handlebars
and Bootstrap for the styles and classes
<div class="col-md-auto mx-auto">
<h3 class="text-center">Buy</h3>
<form action="/dashboard/" method="POST">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="number" id="buyA" min="3"class="form-control" name="buyA" placeholder="Amount">
<div class="d-grid gap-2">
<button class="btn btn-success">Buy X Things X</button>
</div>
</div>
<input type="hidden" id="buy" name="buy" value="buy">
</form>
</div>
One of the scripts I've tried is this one, but it doesn't show anything and I just put it in place of the X (I'm a bit of a newbie in HTML), that is, instead of the X I just put that Script to hopefully get its value
<script>
let buyAmount = document.getElementById('buyFormAmount').value;
if (!buyAmount || <= 0) = "?";
return buyAmount;
</script>
You need to add an Event Listener on the input field, see exemple below.
var x = document.getElementById('txt');
x.addEventListener('input', function(){
document.getElementById("myBtn").innerHTML="Buy "+x.value+" Rabbits by "+ x.value+" Carrots"
});
<input type="text" id="txt" name="txt" value="" >
<button id="myBtn" value="myvalue" >Try it</button>
