Get the value of an element

801863

Hi everybody,
I have the following two objects in a JavaScript function:

var title = document.createElement("div");
title.id="titleDiv_" + creativeList[0].id;
title.style.marginTop="15px";	
			
var left = document.createElement("div");
left.id="left";			
left.innerHTML = "<input readonly id=\"left1\" type=\"text\" name=\"inputLeft\" size=3 maxlength=3 value=\"35\"><font>characters left</font>";

title.innerHTML = "TITLE:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp <input maxlength=\"" + <c:out value="${titleMaxSize}"/> + "\" size=\"" + <c:out value="${titleMaxSize}"/> + "\" type=\"text\"  id=\"title_" + creativeList[0].id + "\" name=\"inputTitle\" value=\"" + creativeList[0].title + "\">";

On the website, I see the fields with the "values" as follows; meaning it does show the values:

TITLE: Auto Body and Paint --> "Auto Body and Paint": is the value
35 characters left --> "35" is the value

I try to get the values as following:

if(document.getElementById("title_" + creativeList[0].id).value.length == 0) {
		        alert("Title: nothing");
		    }else{
		    	alert("Title: found: " + ("title_" + creativeList[0].id).value);
		    }

		if(document.getElementById('left1').value.length == 0) {
		        alert("Left: nothing");
		    }else{
		    	alert("Left: found: " + ('left1').value);
		    }

I don't receive any error, however, this is what I get:

Title: found: undefined
Left: found: undefined

How can I get the real values? Any help is gretly apprecaited.
