Steps

1. First we drag an input box onto the page. We will name it "InputBox" with the value "This is an input field".

   
2. We want to get the 'name' attribute of "InputBox" and display it in the browser console with the help of the Log.write helper function.

3. Drag Component.getProperty into the event flow, and specify the name of the component, which in this case is "InputBox".
