I don't know if it was just a typo, but your example would've returned
different objects:
$("FIRST_NAME1_") would return any items with the tag "FIRST_NAME1_"
$("#FIRST_NAME1") would return any items with the ID "FIRST_NAME1"
If typo's are the problem in your code, then this should work if your input
field has an id of "FIRST_NAME1"
//setting
$("#FIRST_NAME1").val("Uli");
//getting
$("#FIRST_NAME1")val();
Hope that helps,
Chad
