如何动态地检索输入类型“ url”的值并将其放入变量中？

Question

I have an input of type "url" that has a placeholder.

The user has to complete that url.

I would like to get the value that the user entered, put it in a variable

and then use it in my script.

Here is my html

`<input type="url" name="input1" value="https://myWebApplication.com/logs/">`

here is what I tried to do using Jquery but I always get the initial value of the placeholder instead of the newly entered URL.

`var newURL = "";
 $("input").keyup(function() {
    newURL = $(this).val();
 }).keyup();`

I'm unable to retrieve the newly inserted value.

Answer 1

try $(this).prop("value")

 $("input").on("keyup", function() { alert($(this).prop("value")); }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type="url" name="input1" value="https://myWebApplication.com/logs/">
