Post data from input

Question

Hope that i can get an answer...i'm trying to post an input value in this format. I want to be able to get the entered text, not the character that replaces the text. Input type="password" is not a solution.

 var text = ""; $('input[type="text"]').keyup(function(e){ if(e.which === 8){ text = text.substr(0, text.length - 1); } var data = $(this).val(); $(this).val( data.replace(/[&\\/\\\\#,+()$~%.'":*@!?^<>{}\\w\\s]/g, '●')); }); $('input[type="text"]').keypress(function(e){ text += String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode); console.log(text); }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input name="newname" type="text" id="txt1" autocomplete="off">

How about Changing keypress to keydown ? since keydown event always fire before keyup
