    does this answer your question? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11563638/how-do-i-get-the-value-of-text-input-field-using-javascript – Roohullah Kazmi Aug 15 '21 at 05:38
  • By 'sentence' do you mean the entire contents of an input (i.e. everything the user has typed into that input element)? Or do you require to take everything the user has typed into an input element and extract, say, the first sentence? And/or are you using textarea rather then input? Pleasse provide your code so we can see for ourselves. – A Haworth Aug 15 '21 at 06:38

Input fields have a value property which you can get or set. Assuming your text fields have IDs. You can use grab the value of the first text field and put it in the second one.

let fieldOne = document.getElementById('text-field-one').value;
document.getElementById('text-field-two').value = fieldOne;

You can use .value property of input field in JavaScript. But first, you need "find" the input field in DOM. Example: var sent = document.getElementById("input_field").value;

Or you can use this StackOverflow page for example: How do I get the value of text input field using JavaScript?
