Not able to set Textbox text using Jquery

Trying to set this textbox

<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.IndicationCalculatorNewGroupName, new {propertyName = "IndicationCalculatorNewGroupName", onchange = "UpdateField(this);", dontRegisterNewIndication = true })%>

like this:

$("#IndicationCalculatorNewGroupName").val('-- Enter new Group Name --');

I am accessing it fine using that Id and everything when I do other things like $("#IndicationCalculatorNewGroupName").show(); but not when I try and set it's text.

Thanks!

$('#IndicationCalculatorNewGroupName').val('-- Enter new Group Name --'); is the correct jQuery syntax, so the issue is something else.

Here is a jsfiddle showing this: http://jsfiddle.net/bdL2Q/

Can you provide additional details please?

What is the markup generated by Html.TextBoxFor? What is the exact jQuery code you are trying to run? (Is it as simple as the snippet you posted?)
