How can i get field values in a newform.aspx without the weird id.

Can I get by sharepoint internal field name or field name, or by title?

Ex.

<input name="ctl00$m$g_ac5e7c13_02a0_4407_9219_c5ed488b0821$ctl00$ctl05$ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ctl04$ctl00$ctl00$TextField" type="text" maxlength="255" id="ctl00_m_g_ac5e7c13_02a0_4407_9219_c5ed488b0821_ctl00_ctl05_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_TextField" title="Morada Required Field" class="ms-long ms-spellcheck-true">

javascript to get value

var Morada = document.getElementById("ctl00_m_g_ac5e7c13_02a0_4407_9219_c5ed488b0821_ctl00_ctl05_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_TextField").value;

you can get the filed value like this

Its simple using jquery

var Morada = $("input[title='Morada Required Field']").val()

Prasath's jQuery would work.

If you don't want to use jQuery, you can use the native JavaScript document.querySelector() or document.querySelectorAll(), using the same CSS selector syntax. Should run a bit faster than the jQuery equivalent.

var Morada = document.querySelector("input[title='Morada Required Field']").value;

Jason, this is THE BEST and easiest solution I have found to get the value in a single field from a Sharepoint list.  I have spent hours trying to do this.  Thank you so much!!!!!!  I wish I could vote 250 times.
