Here is a useful function (taken from here) that gets all elements containing value for specified attribute:

var getAllElementsWithAttribute = function (attribute) {
    var matchingElements = [];
    var allElements = document.getElementsByTagName('*');
    for (var i = 0; i < allElements.length; i++) {
        if (allElements[i].getAttribute(attribute)) {
            matchingElements.push(allElements[i]);
        }
    }
    return matchingElements;
};

Remove the space in your selector.

$('input[value="Here"]').attr('id')

The space means "descendant of".

Remove the space should be:

alert($('input[value="Here"]').attr('id'));

You should not use space between the element and the attribute selector, currently your selector tries to find a element with attribute value='here' within the input element, try the following:

$('#check').click(function(){
   alert($('input[value="Here"]').attr('id'));
})
