var numb7 = document.getElementById("numb7").value;

• That's not an error. Also, if that's really what your code looks like, that would not happen. – Pointy Commented Jun 29, 2014 at 14:05
• only omitting .value would do that ...alert(document.getElementById("numb7")) – Alex K. Commented Jun 29, 2014 at 14:07
• 1 I copied and pasted it. It's working properly. Can you post full code. – Mritunjay Commented Jun 29, 2014 at 14:08

Perhaps it's an old MSIE patibility feature where all id and name attributes are added to the global object. Try giving your variable (or id) a different name.
