Hi there,
i have some controls on my view like so: " ><%=Html.TextBox("Name")%> " ><%=Html.DropDownList("Intensities")%>
How can i retreive the values of these controls with JQuery?
Something like: var name = $("#name" + id).val(); alert(name);

A:
well since <%=Html.TextBox("Name")%> make an input type="text" id="Name" name="Name" /> you could just
var name = $("#Name").val(); alert(name); var intensities = $("#Intensities").val(); alert(intensities );

Note that if you are using "User.Name" syntax, then the id will be rendered as id="User_Name"

It's basically a way to control the binding. If you have a Model with a User property on it, this is the best way to bind the User.Name. Both on rendering and on binding in the actionmethod's parameters that you post to.

A:
In order to reference the textbox the way you propose you will need to give the textbox a custom id like this, supposing you're iterating over a collection of users:
<%foreach(var user in Model.UserCollection){%>
<%= Html.TextBox("Name",user.Name,new{id="name"+user.Id})%>
<%}%>
