Copy element and place it elsewhere.

Basically I want to make a contact form, there is an area that says “Logged in as *username*” and basically I want to know how to capture the name of the person and put it in an input box.

Here’s the code:

Logged in as User

It’s in a strong element so if that helps.

I don’t want the element moved, I want the individual’s username ‘captured’ and placed into an input box..

I apologize if I wreck your indentation. This is the easiest way to solve your problem and will work with older web browsers. the word in the “value=” part is what will be displayed in the text box.

Logged in as 

the bare minimum code needed for a text box is this ‘‘ but that would be useless if the textbox contents need to be used.

@MaikelMaikel, with jQuery I would do something like this:

var username = $('.conl').find('strong').text();

$('#input-box-id').attr('value', username);
