Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

You can select checkboxes using the :text selector but generally I would recommend using an ID or class, as appropriate.

The value of a text box can be obtained using val().

For example, this function listens for change events on all text boxes and alerts the new value:

$(":text").change(function() {
  alert($(this).val());
});

Answer 2

+2 A:

First I would add either a class or an ID to your input. Once you do that, you can retrieve it very easily like so:

var value = $('.yourClass').val();

or if you give it an ID:

var value = $('#yourID').val();

Answer 3

A:

For the unique control in the page, to assign an ID is a good practice. For looped element such as table list, use position selector is better.
