title: How to use jQuery to get the current value of a file input field
body: <p>From what I've ready you should be able to use the 'value' property of a file input field to get the currently set path of that field.  But when I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $('#fileinput').value()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get 'undefined'.  The ID of the field is set to "fileinput" I'm sure.  Does anyone have any thoughts on why this might not be working for me?</p>
  
  <p>And by the way, this works:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var d = document.getElementById('AttachmentFile');
  alert(d.value);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I guess this has something to do with the way jQuery works that I don't fully understand.  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
