Question

I have a jquery click event setup:

$(".clickhere").click(function(){
    ...
});

I also have a span with an id of spanval.

<span id="spanval">1</span>

finally I have a form with an input…

<input id="spanvalue" name="spanvalue" value="whatever_the_value_of_the_span_is" />

So, what I need to do is the following:

If class of clickhere is clicked then get the text in the span and put it in the spanvalue‘s value.

Answer 1

$(".clickhere").click(function(){
    $('#spanvalue').val($('#spanval').text());
});

Note that your’s DOM elements naming is really really confusing… (spanvalue V.S. spanval)
