$('#inputElement').text() returns empty string in IE6

[tw2080]

When I try to get the text value of a single input element in IE6, $('#inputElement').text(), an empty string is returned. In the same time document.getElementById('inputElement').value returns the correct value.

A small change in the code at line 208 fixes this problemm:

(208) text: function( text ) {

var ret = "";

jQuery.each( text

this, function(){

if( this.childNodes.length > 0 ) {

jQuery.each( this.childNodes, function(){

if ( this.nodeType != 8 )

ret += this.nodeType != 1 ?

( this.value

this.nodeValue ):

jQuery.fn.text( [ this ] );

});

} else if ( this.nodeType != 8 )

ret += this.nodeType == 1 ?

( this.value

this.nodeValue ):;

});

return ret;

},

If you want the value of an input element, use .val() and not .text()
