Question

I’m trying to put some text inside an input, tried this:

$("#someText").click(function () {
var value = $(this).html();
$("input").val(value);
});

This is pretty simple, but it doesn’t work.

A common problem is placing your code in a <script> tag, but not inside a document-ready function like this:

$(function () {
    $("#someText").click(...);
});
