Fill a textbox with jQuery

Question

When I use this code, it doesn't want to work.

$('[id$=ADRESTextBox]').text(data[0]);

The data is an array as you can see. It really has a value (because I alerted it) How do you fill a certain textbox with jQuery.

Answer 1

Set values of form elements with val():

$('[id$=ADRESTextBox]').val(data[0]);

If you are talking about text input elements: They don't have "content" anyway. It is a single, self-closing tag, so any attempt to put something inside the tag will fail. A text field's value is defined by its value attribute.

Update:

With respect to the comment: If ADRESTextBox is actually the full ID, use $('#ADRESTextBox') to select the element.
