Jquery get form field value

Question

I am using a jquery template to dynamically generate multiple elements on the same page  Each element looks like this   lt div id   DynamicValueAssignedHere  gt       lt div class  something  gt Hello world lt  div gt       lt div class  formdiv  gt           lt form name  inpForm  gt               lt input type  text  name  FirstName    gt               lt input type  submit  value  Submit    gt           lt  form gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    I would like to use Jquery to process the form on submit  I would also like to revert the form values to their previous values if something should go wrong  My question is How can I get the value of input box using Jquery  For example  I can get the value of the div with class  something  by doing  var something      DynamicValueAssignedHere  children   something   html      In a similar fashion  I want to be able to retrieve the value of the textbox  Right now  I tried  var text      DynamicValueAssignedHere  children   formdiv   findnext  input name  FirstName     val      but it doesn t seem to be working

if you know the id of the inputs you only need to use this   var value       inputID   val

var textValue      input type text    val     this will get all values of all text boxes  You can use methods like children  firstchild  etc to hone in  Like by form         form name form1  input type text    Easier to use IDs for targeting elements but if it s purely dynamic you can get all input values then loop through then with JS
