I am trying to make a google script web app that takes input from an HTML form and passes the input to a script. Right now, the function is failing because document.getelementbyId('text') returns null instead of the actual form value. How can I fix this?
Index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
<script>
// Prevent forms from submitting.
function preventFormSubmit() {
var forms = document.querySelectorAll('form');
for (var i = 0; i < forms.length; i++) {
forms[i].addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
});
}
}
window.addEventListener('load', preventFormSubmit);
function handleFormSubmit() {
var formObject = document.getElementById('text');
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(setTable).getSportData(formObject);
console.log(formObject);
}
function setTable(data) {
var div = document.getElementById('output');
div.innerHTML = createTable(data);
}
/**
* Adds an html table
*/
function createTable(tableData) {
var table = document.createElement('table');
var tableBody = document.createElement('tbody');
tableData.forEach(function(rowData) {
var row = document.createElement('tr');
rowData.forEach(function(cellData) {
var cell = document.createElement('td');
cell.appendChild(document.createTextNode(cellData));
row.appendChild(cell);
});
tableBody.appendChild(row);
});
table.appendChild(tableBody);
document.body.appendChild(table);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="myForm" onsubmit="handleFormSubmit()">
<input name="text" type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<div id="output"></div>
</body>
</html>
