Getting an input element's value in jQuery

How c开发者_运维技巧an I get the value of an input element in jQuery?

---

If this is your textbox:

<input type="text" id="mytextBox" value="" />

You will be getting it's value using the textbox's ID=mytextBox...

var value = $("#mytextBox").val()

• JQuery .val()
• JQuery

$("#elementId").val()

The best way is to use the val() function, as in:

$('#someInput').val();

You can also use the attr function to find the value for some fields

$('#someInput').attr('value');

The val function gets or sets the value of an input field.

Set the input value to "Hello world":

$('#myInput').val('Hello world');

Get the input value:

$('#myInput').val();

use jQuery('inputElement').val() to get the values of input(form) elements
