[jQuery] Re: Can't figure out how to traverse the DOM to these values...

[sam]

I didn't read your whole post.

However, you should read the docs to be sure functions are returning
what you think they are returning.

<jQuery>.attr("one param") will return a String of that attribute...
so you cannot then call ".val()" because .val() is not a method that
String has.

<jQuery>.val() should work just fine for form inputs.

<jQuery>.next(<selector>) returns the next SIBLING elements to each
<jQuery>.  If you're looking for elements inside <jQuery> then
use .find().

Hope this helps.
