POJquery Mobile $('#idoftheinputfield').val() always returns the first value entered

copied!<p>After looking at several related posts for couple of days I decided to post this question for which I still don't have an answer. </p> <p>I have a jquery mobile page with an input field of type "search" and have a keyup function for the field to call another page with the current value of the field if an enter key is pressed. Every thing works fine first time I type in a value and press the enter key. But then on , it always gets the very first value (previous value) I entered and never gets the newly changed value. I have seen related posts, but couldn't figure out the solution for my issue. Issue is same on all browsers I had tested so far, on computer and on mobile.</p> <p>Here is input field</p> <pre><code><div class="content-primary" data-dom-cache="false"> <input type="search" name="finddata" id="search-team" value="Find Data" data-inline="true"/> </div> </code></pre> <p>Here is the script function</p> <pre><code>$(document).on('keyup','#search-team',hndlSearchTmKeyup); function hndlSearchTmKeyup(event) { if (event.which == 13) { alert("search!oo! ="+$("#search-team").val()); window.location.assign("/myapp/mysearchpage.jsp?findTmNm="+$("#search-team").val()) return false; } } </code></pre> <p>After further testing I found out that if I just display an alert in the hndlSearchTmKeyup function without calling the window.location.assign it displays the new value correctly. When I include the window.location.assign and from the next page when I click the "home" button and return to the original page and again type in a new value and press enter it shows the old value. Not sure what is going on.</p>
