Using a javascript function on inputted text

Question

I have two boxes, the first is the input and the other the output. I want the output box to display the text inputted in the input box, as converted by the javascript function.

I hope that makes sense! For example I have a function to change the letters of inputted text, but don't know how to use it to take what has been inputted and display it in the second box.

What have you tried? Where is your code? Any errors? What result do you expect ? — ebyt

you need to learn about jquery selector and jquery events first. just google these terms and you will see lots of information. — Deep

@Deep okay, I probably should study up more on jQuery first, kind of just went into this blindly — nonono

@Mohammad, not exactly, I want to input text and have it return an encrypted string. I already have the javascript function written, I just need to implement it somehow — nonono

Your question is unclear, but you can get input value like this: $('#input').val();

Then change it as you need and assign value to your output element like this $('#output').val(yourChangedValue);
