UPDATE: Stupid, I did not notice that CASE was not accurate. I struggled with this for 30+ minutes and you guys saw my problem in less than 5! Thank you for saving me a lot of grief - I'm still a beginner in programming anyway, I need to learn to look at such trifles as this, but thanks, it never crossed my mind :)
Sorry, everything - this is misleading earlier because I forgot to put quotes in my question, but I can assure you that I know that quotes are required for the JQuery selector, and I used them ...
<div id='question' style="background-color:#DAE2E8;border-color:#A2B3C7;border-width:1px;border-style:solid"><br />
<table id='searchtable' border='0'>

So here is my HTML code (its on aspx page). I tried using $("#QuestionID").val()to get the value, but that will not work. I also tried $("input#QuestionID").val().
