get/set textbox created dynamically

get/set textbox created dynamically


Hello,

I dynamically create a textbox as follows, but I cannot retrieve the value entered by the user:

  1. bp_boards = ' \
                        <tr id="hwNumberBoards">                        \
                                <td>No. of modules:</td>                    \
                                <td><input id="hwNumberBoards" name="hwNumberBoards" type="text" size="3"></td>                    \
                            </tr>                        \
                        ';

    $('#hwStructureDetails').append(bp_boards);








The dynamically created textbox shows up on the page but after the user enters a value, I cannot retrieve it from jquery  ( alert($("#hwNumberBoards").val()) is "undefined")

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you,
Flavius.
