I have a website/tablet html5 web app where I use textareas. My problem is that "some" javascript code/library or whatever makes the val() call on the textarea malfunction. It always returns the value that you normally get with text() - the text set from server side. I use ton of jquery on this web app without any problems. First thing I made sure is that the DOM itself is correct without any problems. I saved the whole DOM to a new html file and removed all javascripts. With a simple button I'm able to read the textarea with val().The same reading code executed in the real website will malfunction though. SO there is kind of a dependency with the other existing javascript codes/libraries.The server side architecture is an ASP.Net website. Therefore there is quite some code running in the background (Scriptmanager, MS Ajax, Third Party controls, ....)The website uses jQuery 1.4.2. I've tried overloading a local jQuery version 1.9.1 just for that tiny val() part with noConflict() to exclude any old version issues with no luck.I know I'm VERY abstract but due to the fact that the website is dependet on a huge database and all the development is inside a closed network I can provide a link.Is anybody aware of "disturbing" influences on the jQuery functionality espiecially with val()?Thank you
