Description

I have a variable: var jObj;

Trying to change value with:

$('input[name=something]', jObj).val('12345');

I can read back the right value:

alert( $('[name=retry]', jObj).val() );

BUT

alert( $('<p />').append(jObj).html() ) shows <input name="something" value="" />

Note: I can modify all attriubte of input except value!!

I've created a jsFiddle to show this test case http://jsfiddle.net/boushley/KWBQB/ There is some interesting behavior happening with manipulating the value in memory vs what happens when it's added to the dom or another element.
