Content added by jquery is cleared after pressing submit

This is my code which I am currently working on. I have to display the value passed by the user. In here I am displaying only a string which I will modify afterwards. When I click the add button I get some strange code in my alertbox. This is the fiddle which I have made while running fiddle I am getting shell form doesn't validate. May be my code have some problem. Here is the code which I get in my alertbox.

In the console I am getting a warning:

The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol.

Please help me sorting this out. Thanks

Dibya

Follow up: I have missed to mention. After clicking Ok button the text disappears in the div. What causes this? How can I prevent?

you mised the function call with () that's why you get displayed the jQuery function for val.

this fiddle is working because I added () to the var x = $('input[name="time"]').val; code.

It should be

var x = $('input[name="time"]').val();

$('input[name="time"]').val refers to the val function and alert(x) in that case returns the string representation of val.

In order to call the method val and retrieve the returned value you need to use val().
