New Post: Client-Side Form And Field Updating.

This is a bit more general than just SPS, but I know you guys use SPS in some pretty fancy client based apps and I wanted to get some experienced opinions on this.

I'm working on a SP2007 site using SPS and JQuery (which are both fairly new to me) and need to do a fair amount of field manipulation. Usual kind of stuff get/set, clear, hide, readonly etc.

What's the best way of doing this? I have tried googling, but there's all sorts of different JS/CSS scripts, Codeplex projects, JS libraries etc.

I've used JS functions before to get the field as an object to manipulate, which works, but is a bit clumsy.

I noticed one of the examples in here uses:-
var subject = $("#feedback-subject-input input").val();

    var message = $("#feedback-message-input textarea").text();

Now I'm using JQuery, I guess I should/could be doing all this kind of stuff with that?

I think I've kind of answered my own question, and maybe just need to read up on JQuery more, but it'll be good to get some advice, or good advanced script examples/links etc.

Thanks.
