This method is typically used to set the values of form fields.

val() allows you to pass an array of element values. This is useful when working on a jQuery object containing elements like <input type="checkbox">, <input type="radio">, and <option>s inside of a <select>. In this case, the inputs and the options having a value that matches one of the elements of the array will be checked or selected while those having a value that don't match one of the elements of the array will be unchecked or unselected, depending on the type. In case of <input type="radio">s that are part of a radio group and <select>s, any previously selected element will be deselected.

The .val() method allows us to set the value by passing in a function. As of jQuery 1.4, the function is passed two arguments, the current element's index and its current value: 


 $( "input:text.items" ).val(function( index, value ) {
