Question

If i assign a variable something like this

var a = $("input").val();

At the start of the program.
And then call something like this :

$("div").html(a);

Will this print the value of the value which was the value in the input when the var a = $("input").val(); was executed or when the line : $("div").html(a); was executed ?

Answer 1

The first line (var a = $("input").val();) sets the value of a variable to whatever data is available. Later on when you use that variable (a), it will be the same value. It is only a string, it is not the actual DOM element.
