1 alert does not return a usable value
2 do not use onclick here, but onsubmit in the <form>

Try:
<form onsubmit='alert(this.elements["Search"].value);return false'>
<input type='text' name='Search' value='abc' >
<input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Go'>
</form>
the "return false" is only necessary if you do not want to submit ageter
the alert.
