Jquery .val() dont work properly with Material Design Bootstrap

Question

I'm using Material Design Bootstrap to style and do something nice with the inputs placeholder.

<input id="ConfigName" class="form-control floating-label" placeholder="Name" type="text">

But if I try to add/change some text to the input with jquery it doesn't work correctly.

$('#ConfigName').html("testersres"); // dont work
$('#ConfigName').text("testersres"); // dont work
$('#ConfigName').val("testersres"); //Placeholder and "testersres" is placed on top of each other

I'm using the floating label, second from the top @here

Can someone tell me whats wrong, or how I can fix it?

Here is an image with the problem:

When you are assigning the value, in js you need to remove class empty from the corresponding field.

$('#ConfigName').val("testersres");
$('#ConfigName1').removeClass("form-control empty");
$('#ConfigName1').addClass("form-control");
$('#ConfigName1').val("testersres");

<div class="form-control-wrapper">
  <input type="text" class="form-control empty" id="ConfigName1">
  <div class="floating-label">floating label</div><span class="material-input"></span>
</div>

Instead of messing with the classes just trigger a change event like `('#ConfigName1').trigger("change");` — T J, May 12 '16 at 06:08
