Answer 1

Your code works fine for me. See:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

<input type="text" id="name" value="Hello">

Try to alert('hello') and check.

Answer 2

Try below script.

 $(document).ready(function(){ alert($('#name').val()); }) 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type="text" id="name" value="Hello">
