title: document.GetElementById doesn't work in any kind of browser
body: <p>I'm trying to get the value of an input (text/textarea) and <code>document.getElementById('rtext').value</code> returns nothing. If I set a default value (value="XXX"), it returns that value, eve if i edit it.</p>
  
  <p>Here's some sample:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="forms"&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&lt;textarea id='rtext'&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm mentioning that the form element <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> isn't part of any form and i'm forced to use only <code>document.getElementById</code>. No jQuery and no <code>this.form.Id.value</code></p>
  
  <p>Please help. THX</p>
