[12:03 AM] acemarke: "controlled" and "uncontrolled" inputs
[12:04 AM] acemarke: if I have a plain, normal HTML page, and I put <input id="myTextbox" type="text" /> in my page(edited)
[12:04 AM] acemarke: and I start typing into that textbox
[12:04 AM] acemarke: it remembers what I've typed. The browser stores the current value for that input
[12:05 AM] acemarke: and then sometime later, I can get the actual element, say, const input = document.getElementById("myTextbox"), and I can ask it for its value: const currentText = input.value;
[12:05 AM] acemarke: good so far?
[12:08 AM] acemarke: I'll keep going, and let me know if you have questions
[12:08 AM] lozio: ok, actually I'm reading
[12:09 AM] lozio: good
[12:09 AM] acemarke: so, a normal HTML input field effectively stores its own value at all times, and you can get the element and ask for its value
