So let’s just create an HTML form to explain it

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Your Title Here</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>My Form</h1>
  
  
  <form id="thisform" method="post">
    Enter Your Name
                           <br>
                     <input type="text" name="myname">
        </form>
</body>
</html>

Now the next step is to create a jQuery function and a div area to show the value we gonna get from the HTML form field.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
      $('#thisform input[name=myname]').keyup(function(){
        var entered_name=$(this).val();
        $('#showhere').text(entered_name); 

      });
      


    });
    
  </script>

Your jQuery function is now created. Now what you need is just a simple div area to show how it is working. (You can use console log too to check the output of your script. )

<div id="showhere"></div>

Add this div area where you want to show your output.

        </form>
        <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
      $('#thisform input[name=myname]').keyup(function(){
        var entered_name=$(this).val();
        $('#showhere').text(entered_name); 

      });
      


    });
    
  </script>
  <div id="showhere"></div>
</body>
</html>
