title: Google Chrome, text input value
body: <p>I have an authentication system in my program, and when I did 'Save Password' with google chrome, it automatically fills the username and password text boxes with the last username and password that was saved.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I try to check the value of the content of the username input box, using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>alert($('#user_email').val());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Google Chrome gives me blank output, while Firefox gives me the value in the text box. Is there a way to get this value for Google Chrome as well? Maybe using something other than <strong>.val()</strong>?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
