Question

I’m trying to write some javascript that will grab the inner text of li elements (1-16) and put them into hidden fields.

   var myValue9 = document.getElementById("fileName9").value;
   oForm.elements["fileName9"].value = myValue9;


 <input name="fileName9" type="hidden" id="fileName9" />

<li id="wavName9"> Some Text </li> 

How do I return the text in between the <li> and put into the hidden field?

Answer 1

Simple JavaScript:

document.getElementById("fileName9").value = document.getElementById("wavName9").innerText;

You could, in this case, also use innerHTML but that would also give you the HTML the element contains.
