Hi Is there a reason why: alert($('#id\{0}___').val()); not displaying the value, also no error with Firebug
but alert(document.getElementById("id{0}___").value); displays it ? The html looks like this: <input id="id{0}___" type="text" onblur="show_value()" value="123" maxlength="10" size="10" name="id{0}___" /> show_value() run the alerts above Thanks gvg
