How to output all user inputs at once by the user clicking a button at the bottom of the form

I’m making an HTML form and am fairly new to all of this. I want to ask the user different questions in a form using drop-down box and textarea. After the user selects/types in all their answers, I want to be able to make a button at the bottom where the user will click it and it will display all of their inputs without them having to press submit after each question.

I’m completely lost and don’t know how to do this at all. I think this will include some JavaScript which I also know absolutely nothing about-I only know HTML(noob-still practicing) and some css. Can anyone please fix my script/show how it should look like. Would be greatly appreciated!

<!-- SOME BUTTON HERE TO CLICK AND DISPLAY ALL THEIR INPUT -->

    </form>

</HTML>

I tried to find some tutorials on how to do this but it would be for displaying only one one of the inputs or after each singular input :/

Answer

For submitting your inputs needs to be inside a form tag. The label tag “for” should be equal to input tage “ID” and it is good practice to put you JavaScript at the end of document.

            let CN = document.getElementById('CN').value;
            let FQDN = document.getElementById('FQDN').value;
            let alternateName = document.getElementById('alternateName').value;
            let nameOfCert = document.getElementById('nameOfCert').value;

            document.getElementById('result').innerHTML =  typeOfCSR +"<br/>"+ CN +"<br/>"+ FQDN +"<br/>"+ alternateName +"<br/>"+ nameOfCert;
