Firstly, you have to have an ID assigned to the input field:
<input type="text" id="ourText">
Then you use the getElementById. The property of the input field that contains the text entered is called "value." In this case, I'm going to store it in a variable I've named "userEntered." Then I'll use it in an alert.
var userEntered = document.getElementById("ourText").value;
alert(userEntered);
