.val() function - DOM manipulation

This function gets the value set in a form field. If there is a value between quotes inside the brackets it changes the current value of the given field for that one.

Example 

 alert($("#input_1").val());
 $("#input_2").val("My name");


Before 

 
  <input id="input_1" value="Hello" />
  <input id="input_2" value="World" />


After: 

 
  <input id="input_1" value="Hello" />// Browser alerts 'Hello'
  <input id="input_2" value="My name" />
