For web developers, jQuery is a very useful library that can make JavaScript code more concise and easier to read. In jQuery, there are many methods that help developers easily obtain and manipulate HTML elements.

This article will focus on how jQuery obtains the text area (Textarea).

First of all, if you are not familiar with text fields, you can take a brief look at them. A text field is a form control in HTML that allows users to enter multiple lines of text. Text fields are usually used in scenarios such as user comments and message input.

In jQuery, getting the value of a text field is very simple. Suppose we have a text field element: 

<textarea id="myTextArea"></textarea>
Copy after login

To get the value of this text field, you can use the .val() method. For example, the following code will get the value of the text field and print it to the console: 

var textAreaValue = $('#myTextArea').val();
console.log(textAreaValue);
Copy after login

When the user enters a value in the text field and clicks the submit button, you may need to use jQuery to get the value and send it to the server. The following is sample code: 

$('#submitButton').on('click', function() {
  var textAreaValue = $('#myTextArea').val();
  $.ajax({
    url: 'submit.php',
    method: 'post',
    data: {textAreaValue: textAreaValue},
    success: function(response) {
      console.log(response);
    },
    error: function() {
      console.log('There was an error submitting the form.');
    }
  });
});
Copy after login

The above code will send an AJAX POST request to submit.php when the submit button is clicked, where the request data includes the value of the text field. In case of success, the response will be printed to the console.

In addition, if you need to dynamically change the value of the text field, you can use the following code: 

$('#myTextArea').val('New Value');
Copy after login

The above code will replace the original value in the text field with the new text.

If you need to add some default text to the text area, you can do so by adding the placeholder attribute to the
