OK, I've fixed it. I also had a table which was used to align elements
which I had omitted for clarity. I looked up prev(), and saw that it
looks for the "unique previous element" ... removed the table and all
is OK.
My code us now this:
(in myapp.js )
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#find_member_button').click(function() {
var username = $(this).prev().val();
$("#member_info").html(username);
return false;
});
});
(in the html )
<p id="member_info"></p>
<input type="text" size="30" id="username">
<input type="button" id="find_member_button"size="30" value="Find by Username">
which is WAY cleaner. Thanks. I learned a few things :-)
