How can i parse information from a form to javascript?

How can i parse information from a form in a javascript function?
and I also need to know if there is a way to grab info from a div to use it later for something else

 

getElementById

That gets used most of the time but there are others too, like getElementsByName and getElementsByTagName

Watch out for the extra "s", that trips me up every time

 

You can get the values of the form elements
See get the value of a form element using JavaScript for some examples.

You can use the innerHTML property. See this page for details

 

yea you just assign the div an id like,
<div id="foo">hello world</div>

then use the code
document.getElementById('foo').innerHTML

and that should return the value "hello world"

edit: just saw the OP was banned. oh well
