Title
Body
I have a textbox whose value I want to set based on the inner text of an anchor tag. In other words, when someone clicks on this anchor: <a href="javascript:void();" class="clickable">Blah</a> I want my textbox to populate with the text "Blah". Here is the code I am currently using: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $("a.clickable").click(function(event){ $("input#textbox").val($(this).html()); }); }); </script> And in my html there is a list of anchor tags with the class "clickable" and one textbox with the id "textbox". I've substituted the code above with code to just show a javascript alert with $(this).html() and it seems to show the correct value. I have also changed the $(this).html() to be a hardcoded string and it setes the textbox value correctly. But when I combine them the textbox simply clears out. What am I doing wrong?
