What is the recommended way to get the value of the element that is not the event.target?

HerbertP,

Not sure if this is the recommended way but I was able to get this to work. I am using

$(‘[data-coffee-order=“coffeeOrder”]’).val();

to get the value of the other input.

Yeah, equally not sure what the recommended approach is but this worked for me when the target was coffeeOrder:

event.target.form.strength.value;

and vice versa when the target was strengthLevel:

event.target.form.coffee.value;
