I am trying to change the value of this disabled input. I thought maybe the fact that it was disabled was the problem so I removed the disabled attribute manually (in case you were wondering why it is no longer disabled in the screenshot). See image below:

From what the console returns it seems to be selecting the input properly, but the value of the input remains blank, even when the input is enabled. What am I doing wrong?
I can tell you I have had simmilar issues, and have gotten arround them by using jQuery’s attr method. It can set an arbitrary HTML attribute to whatever you want. See more here: http://api.jquery.com/attr/
