Just Additional Info which took me long time to find.what if you were using the field name and not id for identifying the form field. You do it like this:

For radio button:

var inp= $('input:radio[name=PatientPreviouslyReceivedDrug]:checked').val();

For textbox:

var txt=$('input:text[name=DrugDurationLength]').val();

You need to use the val   function to get the textbox value  text does not exist as a property only as a function and even then its not the correct function to use in this situation   var from      input fromAddress   val     val   is the standard function for getting the value of an input
