Unable to post textarea jquery

This is what I have tried so far; and these are the values it is returning:

$('input[name=message]').toString()
"[object Object]"

$('input[name=message]').val()
undefined

$('input[name=message]').toString()
"[object Object]"

$('input[name=message]').html()
null

Can anyone suggest how I can post the text within json?

This is the current code:

$('form input[type=image]').click(function() {
        var $data =     'name=' + $('input[name=name]').val() + '&' +
                        'email=' + $('input[name=email]').val() + '&' +
                        'country=' + $('input[name=country]').val() + '&' +
                        'contact=' + $('input[name=contact]').val() + '&' +
                        'message=' + $('input[name=message]').val() + '&' +
                        'service=' + $('input[name=service]:selected').val() + '&' +
                        'csrf=' + $('input[name=csrf]').val();

        $.post( 'http://www.site.com/system/sendemail.php',
                $data,
                function($data, $textStatus) {
                    if ($data.success) {
                        $('input[name=name]').val();
                        $('input[name=email]').val();
                        $('input[name=country]').val();
                        $('input[name=contact]').val();
                        $('input[name=message]').val();
                        $('input[name=service]').attr('selected', '');
                        $('input[name=csrf]').val($data.newCSRF);
                    }
                    $.prompt($data.result);

                },
                'json');
        return false;
    });

If it is textarea , use textarea instead of input.

Instead of:

$('input[name=message]').val()

try this:

$('textarea[name=message]').val()

You may use wrong selector, I think you must change input into textarea:

 $('textarea[name=message]')
