Convert input type text to textarea and assign value back to input type text

Question

I have the following code snippet which is invoked when edit button in grid is clicked a window pops up

edit: function(e) {
$('input[name="prods"]').each(function()
{
    var textarea = $(document.createElement('textarea'));
    textarea.text($(this).val());

    $(this).after(textarea).remove();
}); 
}

A text box input type is converted to textarea which works fine.

Once it is converted to textarea, how do I assign the value of textarea to $('input[name="prods"]') when save button is clicked of popup window?

Please try with the below code snippet. We have to retrieve value from the textArea and assigned its value into model property.

Let me know if any concern.

Could this be a mix of val and text? textarea.text seems wrong, that would normally be textarea.val('whatever')

Here this is covered:

You can use this method as well ..

<div class="ref">
<input type="text" name="prod" value="TEST"/>
</div>


jQuery('.edit').click(function(){

var val = jQuery('input[name="prod"]').val()
jQuery('.ref').html('<textarea name="prod">'+val+'</textarea>');

});
