Details

Please note that controls must have the name property specified to get their values.

Additonal parameters

When the method is called without the arguments, all the values of this form are returned including the values of hidden and disabled fields.

Still, you can alter this behavior:

//returns values of visible fields only
$$('myform').getValues({hidden:false});
 
//returns values of enabled fields only
$$('myform').getValues({disabled:false});
 
//excludes both hidden and disabled fields from the result
$$('myform').getValues({
    hidden:false, 
    disabled:false
});

Additionally, you can pass a loop function into the method to iterate through the form controls:

$$('myform').getValues(function(obj){
    //'obj' points to a control object
    console.log(obj.getValue());
});

Getting the value of a specific element

To get the value of some specific element within the form, you should specify its name.

webix.ui({
    view:"form",
    elements: [
        {view:"text", name:"title", placeholder:"Enter film title"},
        {view:"button", click:get_title}
    ]
})
 
function get_title() {
    var title = $$('myform').getValues().title;
    console.log(title);
}
