Display new text input

Question

I got a question regarding my code. I got this function which opens a new window and creates a text input. Now I am trying to display the new entered text in the new window but unfortunately it does not work.. Thank you very much in advance

Text:

<input type="submit" value="Send" onclick="myAlert()">


<script>

    function myAlert()

    {

    var NewWindow= window.open();
    var nameValue = document.getElementById("vname").value;   
    NewWindow.document.write(nameValue);

    var input = document.createElement("input");
    input.type = "text";
    var btn = document.createElement("BUTTON");
    var t = document.createTextNode("Send");

    NewWindow.document.body.appendChild(input);
    btn.appendChild(t);  
    NewWindow.document.body.appendChild(btn);


    }


</script>

java tag removed, javascript question tag added.

Is this your fullcode? Try creating a fiddle with your code until now in jsfiddle or jsbin — Marco, Nov 07 '16 at 18:07

You don't have any input tag with id vanme . So the line,

var nameValue = document.getElementById("vname").value;

will definitely throw an error. Rightclick>Inspect Element > Console and see the error.

The code should work fine if you set an input tag with id vname .

Even I thought the same. But it worked for me when I run the code with `var nameValue` initialized to some random value. – Nandan Bhat Nov 07 '16 at 18:07
Yeah, you're right. I guess he really missed the `input` with the `vname` id – Marco Nov 07 '16 at 18:10
Yes i posted just the function! Yeah thank you very much – Engineer Nov 07 '16 at 18:11

Try this:-

output = 'Hello, World!';
window.open().document.write(output);
