Description

Pretty simple bug. $('#textarea').text(); returns the inputted textareas text in IE8, but returns nothing in FF3.6 and Chrome 5 (beta). .val(); does what is expected, not sure if this is a bug or by design. Only tested with jQuery 1.3.2

Recommend a test case be made for this.

  • Type changed from bug to feature

The correct way to get the text inside a textarea is to use its value attribute, which .val() does. I have changed this to a feature request but it may be closed worksforme.

var variable = $("textarea#mytext").val(); doesn't work too! The val() method returns an empty string.

Works fine.

Please follow the  bug reporting guidlines and use  jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
