Javascript will not pass information into function from html

Ok so very new to Javascript. Trying to learn the code by simply changing the text on a button using an external javascript file. But I can't even get javascript to read the buttons valueexternally, in Chrome's debug tools I see my button value is btn="". It reads the button object but can't read its properties.

<html>
<head>

    <title> Test  </title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Gle.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
    <div><canvas id="Gle" width="800" height="600"></canvas>
</div>
    <div>
        <h2>Enter the mass and coordinates</h2> 
        <input id="txtbox" type="text" /><br/>
        <button id="btn" onclick="change()">Add</button>

    </div>


    </body>
</html>

The Gle.js

"use strict";


function change() {
    var x = document.getElementById("btn").value;
    var elem = document.getElementById("btn");
    var txt = document.getElementById("txtbox");
    txt.text = elem.value;
    elem.value = "Ok";
    } 

When I debug the x value it is "", nothing changes on my screen. I am using brackets IDE.

x is empty because '#btn' doesn't have the 'value' attribute specified. The "Add" string is inside its inner HTML (or text),

alert(document.getElementById("btn").innerText);

And you can index this in the event scope, it's a reference of '#btn' , this.innerText .

A alternative is to get the '#btn' child nodes values, which is cross-browser.

alert(this.childNodes[0].nodeValue);

This alert the first text specified in the element inner.

I'm expecting to have the button title "Add" appear?

The button doesn't have a value attribute so its value property is an empty string.

"Add" is the content of the text node inside the button element.

var x = document.getElementById("btn").firstChild.data;

您可以尝试为button指定value属性

<button id="btn" onclick="change()" value="Add">Add</button>

If you want to update the text of a button based on what's in the input box the code could look like this:

<button id="myButton">Change Me</button>
<input id="myInput" type="text" value="To This"/>

and in the JS:

document.getElementById("myButton").click(function(){
    var inputValue = document.getElementById("myInput").value
    document.getElementById("myButton").innerText = inputValue
    // You could also use 'this' to refer to document.getElementById("myButton"):
    // this.innerText = inputValue
})
