    The problem with your script is you are trying to get the value of element which has not been created in the DOM yet. So you are getting the null value because it does not exist. One thing you can do is include the script at the bottom of the page so that it gets the value

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
     </head>
    <body>
    <form name="f1">
    <input type="text" name="tt" value="jawadi" />
    </form>
    </form>
    </body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
       var x=document.f1.tt.value;//the name of textbox is tt
       alert(x);
    </script>
    </html>

    Second thing that you can try if you are comfortable with jquery is use .ready function, so it will get the value after page load.

    $(document).ready(function(){
 var x=document.f1.tt.value;//the name of textbox is tt
           alert(x);

});
