Typing in the value of an input doesn't change the .val() of the input?

<p>Screenshot 2: Changed, yet .val() shows original :</p>

<p>.val() always returns the same thing, because in the HTML, the text inbetween the <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> tags remains the same.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;textarea id="suggested_text" name="suggested_text" style="width: 100%; height: 250px;"&gt;Enter your comment(s) then click submit.&lt;/textarea&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>How do I get this to behave normally? so I can actually retrieve the value of what is typed in the box?</p>
