Get value from input in a table

I have the following code: 

function create_row() {
    var table = document.getElementById("main_table");
    var n = table.rows.length;
    var m = table.rows[0].cells.length;
    var row = table.insertRow(-1);
    var cell = row.insertCell(0);
    cell.innerHTML = n;
    var cell = row.insertCell(1);
    cell.innerHTML = "<input size=10>";
    for (i=2; i<m; i++) {
        var cell = row.insertCell(i);
        cell.innerHTML = "<input size=4>";
    } 
}

function print_values() {
    var table = document.getElementById("main_table");
    for (i=1; i<table.rows.length; i++) {
        console.log(table.rows[i].cells[1].innerHTML);
    }
}

However, when I print values I get <input size="10">.

The problem is that when I create a row, I add manually some value to a table (in a webpage) and I want to print those values in a log. How can I access those values, but not html of the input?

I probably can assign an id to each input form and then access value keyword, but thought maybe it could suffice using table cells.

You want the insides of your input, so you'll have to select that input.

yourExistingSelector.querySelector("input").innerHTML

In your case:

table.rows[i].cells[1].querySelector("input").innerHTML

The input element is a child of the table cell. And you have to use .value to get the value of an input, not .innerHTML.

console.log(table.rows[i].cells[1].childNodes[0].value)
