Solution 2:
By using new version of jquery (1.8.2), I amend the current code like in this links http://jsfiddle.net/q5EXG/97/
By using the same code, I just change from jQuery to '$'
<a id="send-thoughts" href="">Click</a>
<textarea id="message"></textarea>
$('#send-thoughts').click(function()
{ var thought = $('#message').val();
alert(thought);
});
