Jquery: Is there some way to make val() return an empty string instead of 'undefined' for an empty list?
- by Chris
With Jquery, is there some way to make val() return an empty string instead of 'undefined' when called against an empty list of elements?
E.g., I have this code:
var x = $('#my-textbox-id').not('.watermark').val();
The idea is that I want to get the value of my textbox, but I want an empty string if it is currently showing the watermark (i don't want the watermark value!).
The selector works, but i don't want 'undefined' - I want an empty string ''.
