I have a HTML form:

<html>
<body>
<form>
<textarea></textarea>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="????"></input>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var code, chr = 'here';
code = chr.charCodeAt(0);
document.write("The ASCII code of " + chr +" is "+code);
</script>
</body>
</html>

I’m trying to have a text area in which user/me will put his text (a single letter) and a button which he will click to trigger this event.

Now the problem is how do I make the submit button to submit the whatever is in the text area to: 

var code, chr = '`here`';

Please let me know if there is additional data required.

    If I understand what you’re looking forL you need a function that ascii translates input and you need to call that from the button.

    I would suggest using something like the following because the calls from the button are all relative you could have 15 such forms on a page and they will all work, plus your actual translation method is kept simple and discrete.

    Although with something so simple you could just Drop it inline.

    <html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function asciify(txt) {
    return = txt.charCodeAt(0);
}
</script>
<form>
<textarea name="txt_input"></textarea>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="this.form.txt_output.value = asciify(this.form.txt_input.value)"></input>
<textarea name="txt_output"></textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>
