You can use this syntax: if ( $('#elementToBeUpdated').is('input,textarea') ) { // use val(); } else { // use text(); } or you can take advantage of the empty return object (only one will execute): $('#element').filter('input,textarea').val(new);

At first, the textarea has 'text content' (inside the tags), and it's shown inside. When you click the buttons, it updates this text content. *But*, when you edit it manually, you are updating the textarea's VALUE attribute, not the the text inside. When you have both, the value attribute
