[Value](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23219/an-optimized-description-adds-value-to-experience-and-in-turn-effectively-guest-posting-packages)() in jquery :

Use this .val() method:

If you've got an input with an id of #mindstick you can use the following code to access the value of the text box:

```
$("#Mindstick").val() You can also use the val(string) method to set that value:
$("#Mindstick").val("Software")
```

or

Use this code for using class :

```
<input type="text" id="mindstick" class="textbox" value="1">$(document).ready(function(){   alert($("#mindstick").val());   alert($(".textbox").val());//Not recommended });
```

Happy Coding :)
