Hi, what would you consider the 'best practice' to access form input values?
Having an input field <input value="New topic" class="inputEdit" name="title" type="text"> I could use $('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').val() or $('[EMAIL PROTECTED]"title"]').val() or $('[name=title]').val() or $('[name="title"]').val() ( I also once observed, that the right side of the '=' was evaluated, so it was possible to write var x = 'title'; $('[name=x]') but i could not reproduce it today, so maybe I'm wrong. ) Of course assigning an additional id <input value="New topic" class="inputEdit" name="title" type="text" id="title"> would allow for $('#title') but that appears to be somewhat redundant to me. In short I am looking for the most simple built-in syntax to access form values, like prototype's $F(). This means that querying option lists should return a list of selected values (or texts), and text areas should work also. Thanks Martin
