jQuery .val() vs .attr(“value”)

by

There is a big difference between an objects properties and an objects attributes

See this questions (and its answers) for some of the differences: .prop() vs .attr()

The gist is that .attr(...) is only getting the objects value at the start (when the html is created). val() is getting the object’s property value which can change many times.
