clone() issue with textarea

Description

If you clone a form which contains a textarea, then submit the cloned form, if you try to get the value of the textarea in the form's handlers (submit handler, or click handler of the submit button), the returned value is the value of the first textarea, not the cloned one!

The text method uses the innerText property which is still the original value within the source code according to the browser. Use the more appropriate .val() method to get the value of the text area and it works as expected.
