Assignment using val() behaves differently for textfields than it does for hidden textfields.

Description
Show the original value of a text box
document.getElementById("firstName").value
sample output: "Jimmy"
Here's where I see inconsistent behavior. Changing the field using .val() shouldn't modify the original value -- regular text boxes work as expected but hidden fields do not.
$("#firstName").val("Drew")
document.getElementById("firstName").defaultValue
If #firstName is <input type="text"/> then this returns "Jimmy" which is correct.
If #firstName is <input type="hidden"/> then this returns "Drew" which is incorrect.
