Why is this script returning an object to me?

I am working with jQuery to register information in the database through Ajax and do not know why this code is returning me a variable of the object type. The project I’m working on is being developed on top of a Admin Panel with the entire interface and HTML, CSS e JS ready. Here is the code:

$("#cadastra_produtos").submit(function(){

    var prod_nome       = $("#prod_nome");
    var prod_categoria  = $("#prod_categoria");
    var prod_dimens     = $("#prod_dimens");
    var prod_qtde       = $("#prod_qtde");
    var prod_valor      = $("#prod_valor");
    var prod_descr      = $("#prod_descr");

    if(prod_nome) { alert(prod_nome); } <-- isso me retorna um objeto

The only particularity of this form that I think could be generating some type error is the plugin chosen-select that is part of the system front-end.

You can help me figure out why Alert shows me an object and not the string?

    Missed catching the .val() of all fields. The object you are seeing is the jQuery object that wraps the field in question.

  • Note: if(prod_nome) never will fall into the else.

  • Nooooooooooooooooossa forgot the val()

It seems you’ve already noticed but for didactic purposes..

in the example:

html

<input id="prod_name" />

javascript

var nome = $("#prod_nome");

name receives an encapsulated object by jQuery to manipulate the DOM object representing the <input /> in Javascript logo to access its value must use the .val() getting

var nome = $("#prod_nome").val();
