The ID for the element is in the HTML Settings box, but I can’t select it. What’s going on here? It seems to match the Corvid documentation practice of using Jquery but with a cute Wix “w.” But the Wix gods won’t accept my offering. I would greatly appreciate any pointers!
The elements need to be on the actual page itself, you can’t directly add an input in a html like that, hence the error.
You can use an iFrame as you have done.

However, if you would like to pass data between it and the page, or vice versa, you need to make use of the onMessage() and postMessage() functions.
How do I send data between my page and an HTML Component?
You can send and receive messages between your page and an HTML Component using the postMessage() and onMessage() functions.

Do you have to use html for this? Can you not put those user inputs on the actual page itself?

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I’m not committed to HTML as opposed to a normal Wix form, as long as I can access those elements (rather than just a form for collecting data from the user, the idea is to make a dynamic calculator).
