Question

Basically, I’m building a little widget for a site, and I need to set the value of one text area to be another. My current code for changing the value is

$('#make').click(function ()    {
$("#widg").attr("value", "test");
});

Where I need to set the value of #widg to be the value of another input field on the screen, that the user sets the value, when #make is clicked. Any ideas anyone?

Try this:

$('#widg').val( $('#some_other_field').val() );
