Not able to get value of text

In edit mode, the textbox is rendered as:

<input value="10/05/2017" name="purchasedate" id="purchasedate" class="form-control required valid" aria-required="true" type="text">

In jQuery I am trying to fetch:

function validateform(){
   var purchasedate = $("#purchasedate").val().trim();
   alert(purchasedate);
   if(!checkValidDate(purchasedate)){
     displayDateErrorMessage("Purchase Date");
     return false;
   }       
}

It is displayed as blank!

Please help !

You need to put your function as callback to $(document).ready()

$(document).ready(function () {
  var purchasedate = $("#purchasedate").val().trim();
  alert(purchasedate);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input value="10/05/2017" name="purchasedate" id="purchasedate" class="form-control required valid" aria-required="true" type="text">
