Javascript text input value

Question

Hi everyone,
If I have a code in html that goes like:

<input type="text" onchange="change()">

(There are a few line like this in the script)
Is there any way in javascript to reach the input's value without using getElementByWhatever?

I mean something like:
<input type="text" onchange="change(this)">

function change(input) {
alert(input.val());
}

So that if I change the value of the text input, it will immediately alert the new value.

Nevermind, I found it...
It turns out that I should've use input.value instead of input.val().

Took me quite a lot of time to figure this out...😅
