[jQuery] How to change of an input textbox


Hi, I'm new to jQuery.
I have an input textBox with an id="IdName".
By instinct I tried to change its value with:
$("IdName").value="New value" but it doesn't work.
I did it with : document.getElementById("IdName").value = "New value"
How can I make it with JQuery? Isn't there any shorthand for
document.getElementById that lets me obtain the same reference?
Thanks.
