JQuery html string input box

Question

I have this function:

function msj(str) {
//    display = document.getElementById("txt"); // DOM
//    nodo = document.createTextNode(str);
//    display.replaceChild(nodo,display.firstChild);
$("#txt").html(str); // jQuery
}

The message is displayed here:

<div id="txt">Guess the number between 1 and 10</div>

Then, I want to display the message into a input text form. Anyone knows how to do it?

Many thanks.

I know! But I won't tell you until you tell us [what you've tried](http://whathaveyoutried.com/) — Niet the Dark Absol, May 26 '13 at 01:53

Try

<input type="text" id="txt" />

function msj(str) {
  $("#txt").val(str); // jQuery
}

Assuming you have an input text element with id=input-txt then you could do

$("#input-txt").val(str);

jQuery

function msj(str){
  $("#txt").val(str);
}

HTML

<input type="text" name="inputField" id="txt" />

Okay, maybe that's a bit overkill with relevant links that answer your question, but they all answer your question.
