Question: Assuming I have a field with an id of #field1, how do I get the text value of it?

Answer:

   '#field1' asJQuery val

Note:

All Javascript methods in jQuery are available to you this way.

Multi parameter functions are then mapped like:

aQuery.sampleFunc (a,b,c);

aQuery sampleFunc: a and: b and: c.

The and: can be whatever. The only thing that matters is the first part of the keyword selector which has to match the function name.
