<form>
    <input type="text" id="inputbox" value="hello"/>
    <input type="submit" value="Convert" onClick="convert(document.getElementById("inputbox"))"/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function convert (text) {

    alert(text);
    return text;
</script>

This also does not work when I change alert to document.write. I obviously have more HTML to go along with this.

Thanks!
