How do I console.log JavaScript variables as it relates to DOM?

To display variables on console, use document.getElementById(“”).

Example

Following is the code −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
   <meta charset="UTF-8">
   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
   <title>Document</title>
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<body>
   <input type="text" id="printTheData" value="My Name is David">
</body>
<script>
   const data = document.getElementById("printTheData");
   console.log(data);
</script> 
</html>

To run the above program, save the file name anyName.html (index.html). Right click on the file and select the option “Open with Live Server” in VS Code editor.
