forms - Getting input text value with jQuery send the input name instead of the actual value -

i need advice,

i have simple html input type text field:

<p><input id="mrmid" type="text" name="mrmid" size="30" /></p>

i trying values using submit function, this:

$("#myform").submit(function(){ var mrmid = $("#mrmid").val(); alert("mrmid"); });

instead of submitted value, lets submit "123", alert alertss "mrmid" (the input name).

why happening?

is way go, or should utilize serializearray() method? know works , saw documented on stack.

ty

i think have utilize alert(mrmid); instead of alert("mrmid");
