How do I get the text from a dynamically created textarea using Jquery?

Ok so I have this:

$('a[name=writecommentsmodal]').live('click',function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var date=new Date();
    var currdate=date.getYear()+" "+date.getMonth+" "+date.getDate();
    var comm=new addComment("",fullname,currdate,$  ***("#inputspace2").text()) ***;
    comm.appendComment($(".wallpostcontainer"));
});

And I'm trying to get the text from inputspace2. inputspace2 is dynamically created when button is pushed (that button is 'a[name=writecommentsmodal]'). That button also happens to be dynamically created from a different button click (hence the use of live), but I digress. That inputspace2.开发者_运维百科text is empty when I click on the modal button. How do I access it? In firebug its "". I'm thinking maybe having to use live again but I'm no

For text areas, use .val() instead of .text().

Using textContent, innerText, outerHTML or innerHTML on a textarea returns the contents of the text field as defined in the HTML. User's modifications of the content are only visible through the .value property.
