How to get text from a text box in JS

The following code does not work

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

    <input type="text" id="searchTxt"/>
    <input type="button" id="run"/>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() { 
        $("#run").click(function(){
        var input = document.getElementById("searchTxt");
        alert(input);
        });
        });
    </script>

    </body>
    </html>

How can I get and print the value in the text box ?

You have to include the jQuery JS file inside your <head> tag.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
