Extracting the value entered into a form field

Question

Hello!  I am hoping for some help in extracting the value of a form field using Javascript.  I need to know the actual values entered into the fields of a form question, so that I can do some math using them.  I’ve tried the following for the first field in the form:        var apples = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+'.InputText').eq(0).val();            or               jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" input[type=text]").eq(0).val();            or               jQuery("#"+this.questionId+".InputText:first").val();            or              $("QR~"+this.questionId+"~1");  And then to see what I got I use this:       alert(apples); The alert box always shows null with all the variations above.  What am I doing wrong?

@DanBausch,A couple of those should have worked. So, the problem lies elsewhere:Did you do it inside the addOnPageSubmit() function? If not, that is your problem.If you are using Simple layout, the jQuery selector is incorrect (you also have to load jQuery in the survey header)

Try below:var apples = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText:eq(0)").val();alert(apples);
