Great!
I think, this again opens great possibilities!
Might come to a solution for my Idea here:
> [@Input fields (forms) to be used eg. by LUA](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/input-fields-forms-to-be-used-eg-by-lua/1842):

> My idea is to have the possibility to add some kind of input fields to a page and use the input from LUA scritpts. Just like the buttons we already have. That would make several usecases possible: implement calculators (enter a number and calculate something with it) Input forms to enter data for database like silverbullet objects, like #person enter search queries (e.g. for silverbullet or even other webpages by open a link with the search query) and many more slight_smileOf course one …
Already tried this out and I’m able to generate an input field, which fires an event on change of the inputtext.
However, I could not figure out, yet, how to get to the text I put in…
Looks like I miss a puzzle piece again 🙂
My Example:
````lua
```space-lua
function myInputField(text)
return widget.new {
html = text .."",
events = {
change = function()
editor.flashNotification("changed " .. text)
end
}
}
end
````
${myInputField("Input here: ")}
