Is it possible to create maybe a ie toolbar button that would grab data
from those two text boxes(id is known already from ie developer bar).

Hopefully this explains a little better

script type="text/javascript"
function grabInputContents(id) {
var input = document.getElementById(id);
return input.value;
}
/script

It's important to note the lowercase "d" in Id. getElementById returns
the DOM object of an element using the ID specified.

It is also important to know that document.getElementById() may return a
value that is not convertible to an object reference in which case the
`return' statement as it is will cause a runtime error.

A possible fix:

function grabInputContents(id)
{
var input = document.getElementById(id);
return input ? input.value : "";
}

BTW, your indentation and quoting sucks.
