<p>I want to get type of input object but I alway got "undefined". <br/>
What is missing it this code?</p>

<pre><code>var c = $("input[name=\'lastName\']");
c.val("test");
alert(c.type);
</code></pre>

<p>My form</p>

<pre><code>&lt;form action="formAction.jsp" method="post"&gt;
    FirstName &lt;input type="text" name="firstName" id="firstName"&gt;&lt;/input&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
    LastName &lt;input type="text" name="lastName"&gt;&lt;/input&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
    Address &lt;input type="text" name="address"&gt;&lt;/input&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
    Tel &lt;input type="text" name="tel"&gt;&lt;/input&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
    Email &lt;input type="text" name="email"&gt;&lt;/input&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
</code></pre>
