Honestly Dan, I think this is the way that jQuery SHOULD work. If I call for the val() of a form control, I shouldn't have to worry about whether it's a radio button, or a text field. Obviously I can get the value of a specific radio button, but just give me what's CURRENTLY selected.

Switzer, II Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 10:32 AM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] New Field Plug-in... Last night I threw together a quick plug-in that can be used to get/set the value of any form field. This works with checkbox, radio and select elements--which the val() method doesn't handle. I basically just took the core from an old JSAPI I wrote (qForms) and grab the core getter and setters. Anyway, I've got preview of the plug-in up at: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/field.plugin.htm My intention is too add some of the functionality that people like about qForms into this plug-in as time permits. I'm interested in hearing your feedback on this. -Dan
