Answer 1

$(function(){
    $('#mybutton').click(function(e){
        $('input#c_album').val('hello');
    });
});

Is a general method which should work. Without knowing more of your code it's hard to be more specific.

Answer 2

    $(function(){
       $('#btnSubmit').bind('click', function(){
           $('input#c_album').val('hello');
// OR
           $('#c_album').val('hello');
// OR
           $('input[id=c_album]').val('hello');
       });
   });

Answer 3

it worked, the error was, there was no id for the textbox

<input type='text' name='text' id='text'>

Thanks all of you..

Answer 4

$('#submit').bind('click',(function(){
        $('#src_box').val('hello');
    });

There is a problem in this code, so try this -

$('#submit').bind('click',function(){
        $('#src_box').val('hello');
    });

The problem is you have used a '(' before the function(). But now it will work fine :)
