Hello guys, how can I set variable firstName equal to getElementById?

I have this:

<script type="text/javascript">

var firstName = *this have to be set equal to getelementbyid(firstName).value*

function nameCheck(){
if(firstName=="Bas"){
alert("Welcome Bas!")
}else{
alert("Welcome somebody else than Bas!")
}
}
</script>

<input type="text" id="firstName">
<input type="submit" value="submit name" onClick="nameCheck()">

I'm using html... not php (I just wanna be sure you know ;-) )

<input type="text" id="firstName">

<input type="submit" value="submit name" onClick="nameCheck()"> <!-- It's not c00l to use inline JS, it's way better to use addEventListener & attachEvent -->



<script type="text/javascript">

    var firstName // Instead of declaring the var here, I would rather declare it in the scope of nameCheck

      , nameCheck = function() {

                        firstName = document.getElementById('firstName').value;

                        (firstName == 'Bas') ? alert('Welcome Bas!') : alert('Welcome somebody else than Bas!');

                    }

      ;

</script>
