I have two jQuery codes - http://jsfiddle.net/Lijo/CXGX7/7/ and http://jsfiddle.net/Lijo/CXGX7/8/ . The first code
returns undefined whereas the second code
returns text of button.
QUESTIONS
What is the reason for this difference in result?
Why is the first code not returning expected text of button?
Note: I verified that both are using same version of jQuery (by an alert of jQuery)
alert($.fn.jquery);
