I am creating a login page using netui beehive & instead of using javascripts, I am using jquery for this.

since netui got their own tags like 

1. <netui:textBox ... tagId="myId" >

how do i go around implementing jquery in this fashion like i usually do? i tried 

1. $("#myId").val()

but fails. Am I doing it wrong or am I missing something here?

Pls enlighten me  ..

Thanks
