You need to save the original value somewhere. You can store it in a Javascript object/array. Though that requires generating the Javascript beforehand. If you want to actually put that value in the HTML, I suggest the jQuery Metadata plug-in. http://plugins.jquery.com/project/metadata Basically it allows you to store additional data in your HTML and easily get/set it.
