Question

I am trying to get the value of an input text field based on its class name through jquery.

the HTML is:

<form>
  <input type="text" id="datePicker" style="display: none;">
  <div class="dp_wrapper dp_input_6">
    <div class="dp_tagBox">
      <span class="dp_tag dp_tag_day">11</span>
      <span class="dp_tag dp_tag_month">Jun</span>
      <span class="dp_tag dp_tag_year">2009</span>
      <input type="text">
    </div>
  </div>
  <input type="button" onclick="GetContents()" value="submit">
</form>

The jquery is:

var myValue=$('.dp_tag dp_tag_day').val()

But myValue is coming up undefined. Does anyone know why?

Answer 1

var days_as_nums = parseInt($('.dp_tag_day', '.dp_input_6').text(), 10);
