how do i change the value of an input field with jquery?

jquery

Solution

The value is not changing because you assign the value that `#input` already has.

Have a closer look:

var newvalue = $("#input").val();
$("#temp").val(newvalue);
$("#input").val($("#temp").val());

- Let value of `#input` be `foo`.

- You assign `newvalue = value of #input = 'foo'`

- You set the value of `#temp`: `value of #temp = newvalue = value of #input = 'foo'`

- You set the value of `#input`: `value of #input = value of #temp = newvalue = value of #input = 'foo'`

So depending on which field should get which value you have to change this ;)

Problem

i'm trying to use jquery to change the value of an input text box, but it's not working, here is my code... ``` <form method="get"> <input id="temp" type="text" name="here" value="temp value" /> <input class="form" type="radio" value="1" name="someForm" /> Enter something Here: <input id="input" type="text" name="here" value="test value" /> </form> <script> $(document).ready(function () { $('.form').click(function () { var newvalue = $("#input").val(); $("#temp").val(newvalue); $("#input").val($("#temp").val()); }); }); </script> ``` the value of the "#input" text box is not changing!!!!!! why is that??? what am i missing??? thanks a 10 million in advance p.s. the value of the text box is changing, but the value attribute of the input is NOT!!! even if i write... ``` var value = $("#temp").val(); $("#input").attr("value", value); ```
