Getting value of field in java script

Hi,

 

I have aVF page where in i am trying to copy a outputtext value into prompt. The idea is to have an option to copy field values into clipboard.

The issue i am facing is that the value in javascript is coming as undefined.

first alert shows page1:txtaccid

the second alert shows undefined.

 

Any idea what could be the issue

 

<apex:page standardController="Account" sidebar="false" showHeader="false" id="page1">
  <!-- Begin Default Content REMOVE THIS -->
<script>
function copyToClipid(textid)
{
alert(textid);
alert(document.getElementById(textid).value);
var copy_id= document.getElementById(textid).value;
window.prompt ("Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C, Enter", copy_id);

}
</script>
    
Account :  <apex:outputField value="{!account.id}" id="txtaccid"/> <input type="button" id="copyMe" class="btn" value="Copy to Clipboard" onclick="copyToClipid('{!$Component.txtaccid}');"/><br/>
Account Name : <apex:outputField value="{!account.name}" id="txtaccname"/>

  <!-- End Default Content REMOVE THIS -->
</apex:page>

Hi,

     You can use document.getElementById(textid).innerHTML to get the account id from visual force component.
