I have to
admit, I didn't understand that $.val() was limited to only input
elements, and I expected it to get the value of any element. The API says that $.val() will: Get the current value of the first matched element. The API says that $.val( string ) will: Set the value of every matched element. The only indications in the API that this only works on the input element is that the examples following both methods use the input element. There's no other indication, so I am surprised to find that it only works on this element. Chris Alex Cook wrote: *raises hand* Yea, that'd be nice... I expected $.val() to return the value of any and all form elements, and was disappointed to find out otherwise.-ALEX -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Brandon Aaron Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 6:32 PM To: jQuery Discussion. Subject: [jQuery] $.val() limited in functionality? I often times just need to know the value of one form element and sometimes that could be a group of radio buttons, a select, a multiple select or just a regular input. The current $.val() method is limited only to inputs. I was curious if anyone else needed this funtionality and if it should be in a plugin or in the core? -- Brandon Aaron _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/ _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/ |
