Change form input value with Jquery

Question

I am trying to change the input field value dynamically when the user pick the options from my dropdown menu. I have tried this code but have no luck. I was wondering if someone here can help me out! Thanks a lot.

$(document).ready(function(){ $('select[name="job_number"]').change (function () {      $('input[name="project"]').val()="Good Fish";  }); });  <form action='project_manager' method='post'> <input type='text' name='project'>show Good Fish when user picks an option</input> <select name='job_number'> <option value='1'>job1</option> <option value='2'>job2</option> <option value='3'>job3</option> </select>  </form> 

Answer 1

try :

$('input[name="project"]').val("Good Fish"); 

instead of:

$('input[name="project"]').val()="Good Fish";
