Try the script below. I included the alert method in the function just to show that it works.

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
var theletter;
function getletter(theform)
{
theletter = theform.whatever.value.substring(0,1)
alert(theletter)
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform">
<input type="text" size="30" name="whatever"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send" onclick="getletter(this.form)">
</form>

</body>
</html>
