Celsius and Fahrenheit Conversion - JavaScript
I want to create a web page with two text boxes, Celsius and Fahrenheit. There is a convert button in between that converts Celsius to Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit to target. If there are letters in any field, I want to cancel the conversion and a pop-up message appears with the message "Numbers only!" Until now I have not figured out how to get the alert and when I type numbers in the Celsius field it always says the number -18 in the same field. Fahrenheit is fine.
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>Temparature Converter</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="tempconversion.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
Celsius: <input id="c" onkeyup="convert('C')">
<button type="button" id="convert" onclick="convertTemp()">Convert</button>
Fahrenheit: <input id="f" onkeyup="convert('F')">
</body>
</html>
JavaScript:
function convertTemp(degree) {
if (degree == "C") {
F = document.getElementById("c").value * 9 / 5 + 32;
document.getElementById("f").value = Math.round(F);
} else {
C = (document.getElementById("f").value -32) * 5 / 9;
document.getElementById("c").value = Math.round(C);
}
}
Note. I have some code from W3Schools, so I think the onkeyup conversion is a little funny. If possible please let me know how this should change as well as JavaScript.

No need for attributes onkeyup
as the source code from W3Schools is meant to instantly update values as they were entered.
I changed the functionality to clear the original value so the transform button can work both ways with simple code.
Here's a quick JavaScript to get it working:
function convertTemp() {
// Set the initial variables for c (Celsius) and f (Fahrenheit)
var c = document.getElementById('c'), f = document.getElementById('f');
// Test if there is a value for Celsius
if(c.value != '') {
// Set the value for Fahrenheit
f.value = Math.round(c.value * 9 / 5 + 32);
// Clear the value for Celsius
c.value = '';
// If there isn't a value for Celsius
} else {
// Set the value for Celsius
c.value = Math.round((f.value - 32) * 5 / 9);
// Clear the value for Fahrenheit
f.value = '';
}
}
And the accompanying HTML:
Celcius:<input id="c">
Fahrenheit:<input id="f">
<button type="button" id="convert" onclick="convertTemp()">Convert</button>
It can be tested at: http://jsfiddle.net/bhz6uz54/
Something to remember about simple code, for example there is nothing to check that the provided values are acceptable. A small regex can act as a confirmation, but how it is implemented depends on how you want to flag the problem.

I personally hate Do-it buttons, so I would go with a more dynamic solution:
// Get the Input elements:
var $f = document.getElementById("f");
var $c = document.getElementById("c");
function FC_CF() {
var temp; // Will hold the temperature value
var $targ; // Used to target the element we're not typing into:
if (this.id === "c") { // If we're typing into #c...
$targ = $f; // use #f as target element
temp = (this.value * 9 / 5) + 32; // C2F
} else {
$targ = $c;
temp = (this.value - 32) * 5 / 9; // F2C
}
// Write the result "as we type" in the other ($targ) field:
$targ.value = !isNaN(temp) ? parseFloat(temp.toFixed(1)) : "Err";
// (Above:) temp is a num ? return floated number, else: "Show some error"
}
// Assign input listeners to trigger the above function:
$f.oninput = FC_CF;
$c.oninput = FC_CF;
Celcius: <input id="c">
Fahrenheit: <input id="f">

You can split the functions that perform temperature conversion as follows: I made some changes in the code.
<p>
<label>Fahrenheit</label>
<input id="outputFahrenheit" type="number" placeholder="Fahrenheit"
oninput="temperatureConverterCelsius(this.value)"
onchange="temperatureConverterCelsius(this.value)" value="">
</p>
<p>Celsius: </p>
<input id="outputCelsius" type="number" placeholder="Celsius"
oninput="temperatureConverterFahrenheit(this.value)"
onchange="temperatureConverterFahrenheit(this.value)" value="">
</p>
<script type=""text/javascript>
function temperatureConverterCelsius(valNum) {
valNum = parseFloat(valNum);
document.getElementById("outputCelsius").value = (valNum-32) / 1.8;
//document.getElementById("outputFahrenheit").value = (valNum*1.8)+32;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
