In the dictionary (sorted by random) or in tinydict (sorted) choose the widget in the API menu.

___ 1. In your card's script (for example) put:

on openCard
   set the javascriptHandlers of widget "browser" to "jsGetValue"
end openCard

-- handles the return from the browser
on jsGetValue pValue
   put pValue into fld "OUT"
end jsGetValues

___ 2. Then use this as follows.

put "var x=document.getElementById('myButton').value; liveCode.jsGetValue(x);" into js
do js in widget "browser"

Note.
There may be more javascriptHandlers, separate them by cr.
(Was a bug in some versions on Win: If not working separate them by comma).
You may use more than one argument for javascriptHandlers.
That's all.
You don't have to declare them (here jsGetValue) as function in the HTML document.
