title: jquery empty not working
body: <p>Anyone see why this wouldnt work as intended!?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('.project_ref_input').val().empty();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried with .text() and just with .empty()...no luck!?</p>
  
  <p>.project_ref_input is the class of the input</p>
  
  <p>This is the complete jquery code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('.project_ref_input').live('change',function(){ 
                  var project_ref_input=$(this).val();
                  $(this).next().replaceWith("&lt;p&gt;" + project_ref_input + "&lt;/p&gt;");
                  $('.project_ref_input').val().empty();
              });
  </code></pre>
