Juanma De la Flor U must to place the code after HTML element with this id or on JS tab put into function and to set in the body tag event handler "onload", either call function with event handler "window.onload" directly JS tab. Also u can get access by id if script locate below of element or after "window.onload" handler on JS tab.
Example:
<input id="inp" value="some text"/>
<script> alert( inp.value ); </script>

P.S. On js tab
window.onload=function ( ) {
alert ( inp.value );
