I have two jQuery codes - http://jsfiddle.net/Lijo/CXGX7/7/ and http://jsfiddle.net/Lijo/CXGX7/8/ . The first code returns undefined whereas the second code returns text of button.

QUESTIONS

  1. What is the reason for this difference in result?
  2. Why is the first code not returning expected text of button?

Note: I verified that both are using same version of jQuery (by an alert of jQuery)

alert($.fn.jquery);

CODE

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>

</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.8.1.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

    alert($('.myButton').attr("value"));

</script>

</head>
<body>

<form method="post" action="Test.aspx" id="form1">
<div class="aspNetHidden">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwULLTE0MDM4MzYxMjNkZMycQvsYQ+GPFsQHoQ8j/8vEo2vQbqkhfgPc60kxXaQO" />
</div>

<div class="aspNetHidden">

<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION" id="__EVENTVALIDATION" value="/wEWAwKqxqqrCgLi/JazDQKM54rGBqgaroRQTXJkD1LyUlVxAmLRCNfTGVe73swQBMemBtvN" />
</div>
<div>

    <input name="txtEmpName" type="text" id="txtEmpName" />

    <input type="submit" name="Button1" value="Submit" id="Button1" class="myButton" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
