Answer 2

 $("#elementId").val() 

Answer 3

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'); 

Answer 4

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

Set the input value to "Hello world":

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

Get input value:

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

use jQuery ('inputElement'). val () to get input element (form) values
