Question

I am trying this code, however i get the error above:

  <input id="content" class="content" name="item[content]" type="text" />

var name = $('input[item[content]]');
alert(name);

Basically what i want is get the content of the input. What is the correct syntax ?
Thanks

Use the attribute selector, which has the follwing format: [attribute_name="value"] to select the desired element. Then, use the .val() method to get the value of it:

var name = $('input[name="item[content]"]').val();
