print or show current value of variable in console.log

Question

With the below; I am attempting to capture form field contents on click of submit button. However when I go to test it and console.log the variable I just get the HTML of the form field. Any pointers. Or I get uncaught reference error, the variable is not defined.

Mark-Up wise: I'm using input type text and input type radios.

$(document).ready(function(){ 

         $('#submitS').click(function(){

         var firstName01 = document.getElementById('firstName').value;

         var firstName02 = document.getElementById('firstName2').value;

         var lastName01 = document.getElementById('lastName').value;
         var lastName02 = document.getElementById('lastName2').value;

         var iphone01 = document.getElementById('iphone').value;
         var android01 = document.getElementById('android').value;

         var iphone02 = document.getElementById('iphone2').value;
         var android02 = document.getElementById('android2').value;
     });

});

To access radio buttons value, use this : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9618504/get-radio-button-value-with-javascript — Seblor, Aug 09 '16 at 22:57
Thanks... but my input text don't seem to work with the above as well... — Dr Upvote, Aug 09 '16 at 22:59
Can you create a JSFiddle with your code (HTML + JS) so we can see what you have ? — Seblor, Aug 09 '16 at 23:00
I would guess that you are using console.log in the wrong place. It won't work outside of the click event for example. — Linus Aronsson, Aug 09 '16 at 23:03
Where are you printing them out from? By declaring your variables as vars they are local to the function, if you remove the var keyword they will be available globally. — user3094755, Aug 09 '16 at 23:27
is your submit button id really "submitS"? it looks weird in my eyes for some reason. — Duly Kinsky, Aug 09 '16 at 23:58

Try using .textContent instead of .value
