Thanks. getElementProperty is what I needed.
The input was created this way to better show the situation. The GWT
components are part of a web page that has other (non-GWT) JavaScripts
running in it. The other JavaScripts are writting to an input field.
The user can also enter data in these fields. I was trying to get the
GWT scripts to read this data.
Thanks again.
