How do I do this javascript using jQuery?
<p>In javascript I can use the following code both ways, i.e:</p>

<pre><code>var a = document.getElementById("emp").value;
document.getElementById("emp").value = a;
</code></pre>

<p>So I can basically retrieve a value as well as assign a value using ...().value</p>

<p>In jQuery, what is the equivalent to the above, i.e retrieve and assign</p>

<p>Thanks.
Tony.</p>
