  Using Prev() for value of textbox

  Aug 07, 2012 07:08 PM|LINK

  how do I get the value of the text box using Jquery Prev(). I am getting undefined in alert box.

  $("#<%=txt_D_EBITDA_Actual.ClientID%>").focusout(function() {
  
  
  
  
  
  			var a = $(this).val();
  			var b = $(this).prev().val();
  			alert(b);

  <td class="style4"><asp:TextBox ID="txt_D_EBITDA_Budget" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td>
  		<td><asp:TextBox ID="txt_D_EBITDA_Actual" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox></td>
  		<td class="style1"><asp:TextBox ID="txt_D_EBITDA_toBudget" runat="server" ReadOnly="true"></asp:TextBox></td>
  		<td class="style3"><asp:TextBox ID="txt_D_EBITDA_Payout" runat="server"  CssClass="tbox"></asp:TextBox></td></tr>

  prev() navigates siblings. Your input is in a td, so you need to go to parent td, it's prev() and back down to input. $(this).closest('td').prev().find('input').val();

  Hi,

  You can try this also -

  $(this).closest("tr").find("input[id*=txt_D_EBITDA_Budget]").val()

  Thanks & Regards
