JavaScript My picture has disappeared and text overlays from display html function button in javascript ctx fillText.

Hi, I'm afraid this is probably very basic but I'm having a nightmare trying to fix it. After getting the input box to eventually display in the ctx fillText area and have now lost my image and the text overlays each time I type, any advice would be greatly appreciated.



<canvas id="myCanvas" width="900" height="600" style="border:1px solid #404040;">
Your browser does not support the HTML5 canvas tag.
</canvas>

<script>


JavaScript:
function myFunction() {

var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");

var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

var img =new Image();



img.onload = function() {


 


ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, 900, 600);


    }

//the code below positions the overlaying text on the image

ctx.font = "bold 36px Times";

ctx.fillStyle = "black";

ctx.fillText ( document.getElementById("line1").value ,400,325);

ctx.fillText ( document.getElementById("line2").value ,400,375);

ctx.fillText ( document.getElementById("line3").value ,400,425);

  }

//this is the image
img.src= "bus_red.gif"
</script>

//the code below allows the user to input text into boxes

HTML:
<div>

  <form>

    <label for="line1">Enter your text: </label>

    <input type="text" autocomplete="off" id="line1" placeholder="line1"><br>

    <label for="line2">Enter your text: </label>

    <input type="text" autocomplete="off" id="line2" placeholder="line2"><br>

    <label for="line3">Enter your text: </label>

    <input type="text" autocomplete="off" id="line3" placeholder="line3"><br>


    //Click the "click-me' button to return the text on the "HTML" button

    <input type="radio" onclick="myFunction()">Click me</input>

  </form>

</div>

Hi Tilda,

A rule of CodeForum is that you must use the BBcode feature when you post code! You simply click on the </> button, append the code and select the language!
 
I'd like to help you out but I just don't understand the end goal from what you've provided here. Can you setup something like a jsFiddle or Codepen so we can see it for ourselves?
 
Did you try this,
JavaScript:
function myFunction() {
    var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
    var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    var img = new Image();

    img.onload = function() {
        ctx.drawImage( img, 0, 0, 900, 600 );

        //the code below positions the overlaying text on the image
        ctx.font = "bold 36px Times";
        ctx.fillStyle = "black";
        ctx.fillText( document.getElementById("line1").value, 400, 325 );
        ctx.fillText( document.getElementById("line2").value, 400, 375 );
        ctx.fillText( document.getElementById("line3").value, 400, 425 );
    }
            
    //this is the image
    img.src= "bus_red.gif"
}
