If this is your textbox:
<input type="text" id="mytextBox" value="" />
You will be getting it's value using the textbox's ID=mytextBox...
var value = $("#mytextBox").val()

$("#elementId").val()

The best way is to use the val() function, as in:
$('#someInput').val();
You can also use the attr function to find the value for some fields
$('#someInput').attr('value');

how to set the attribute ?
The val function gets or sets the value of an input field.
Set the input value to "Hello world":
$('#myInput').val('Hello world');
Get the input value:
$('#myInput').val();

use jQuery('inputElement').val() to get the values of input(form) elements
