title: Semantic UI - How to get data of active Input Element?
body: <p>how can I get the value of the input field to the urlData Object?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input id="username"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the JS is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#username').api({
     action: 'check username',
      urlData: {username: $(this).val()},
      onSuccess: function(response){
          console.log(response)
      },
      onError: function(error){
          console.log(error)
      }
  });`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With normal <code>JQuery</code> i can get it with an <code>$(this).val();</code>.  But in this case it´s empty. How does it work with Semantic UI ?</p>
