I have a node for which i am setting different attributes (Name, fruit, vegetable) from a typedInput.
For further processing, I want to get the values that I set for each parameter into my html file in which i define the node. I have tried using $('node-input-param\_name').typedInput.('value') as mentioned by the documentation on the typed Input webpage. [TypedInput - get value](https://nodered.org/docs/api/ui/typedInput/#methods-value-get) but it didn't work, and it returns something like `s.fn.init [prevObject: s.fn.init(1)]`.
I can't find a way to get the string value that I chose for the parameter in node-red, and assign it to a variable in my htm file.
Thank you!

Try without the dot after `typedInput`
```auto
const v = $('node-input-param_name').typedInput('value')
```
Also depends on the typed input type. For example some only have `type` and no value...
```auto
const t = $('node-input-param_name').typedInput('type')
```

Thanks for the reply !
I aleady had it without the dot, it was a typo while creating the issue, sorry about that.
Unfortunately, passing the ('type') argument doesn't work as well. I am getting `undefined` as output now.
Are you aware of any node that implements such a functionality, so I can check its source code on github for example?

Sorry, also just noticed you don't have a # symbol at the beginning of the selector...
```auto
const v = $('#node-input-param_name').typedInput('value')
```

That solved it. 🤦♂️
Apologies and thanks for replying so quick.
I couldn't find advanced documentation for stuff like this, and was relying simply on examples and posts from other people on the forum, is there a place where such documentation is found?
