I am trying to call a function on button click and it throws function name not defined. Where I am doing it wrong?

Here is my fiddle

function showit(){
var el = document.getElementById("testBox");
alert(el);
}

<input type=text id='testBox'>
<input type=button value='click' onclick='showit()'>

Open the JavaScript settings and change the load type to "no wrap - in body" – Jun 29 '17 at 20:35
or "in head" And then change to `alert(el.value)` – mplungjan Jun 29 '17 at 20:37
interesting no wrap fix. What does this do actually? – Kurkula Jun 29 '17 at 20:37

The reason is the wrapping of the function in an onload hides the function from the button – mplungjan Jun 29 '17 at 20:38
