With xpath you can read all what you want, eg for

<input type="text" name="foo" value="1">

you can use

<storexpath xpath="//input[@name='foo']/@value" property="myProp"/>


If you have more than one field named "foo" in the page, the best way is to add 
an id:

<input type="text" name="foo" id="theFieldIWantToRead" value="1">

then you can use

<storexpath xpath="//input[@id='theFieldIWantToRead']/@value" property="myProp"/>

Hope this helps.
