I have an input field and i am trying to set its value using its class

<form:input path=userName id=userName title=Choose A Unique UserName readonly=${userNameStatus} class=formData/>

Which renders as:

<input id=userName name=userName title=Choose A Unique UserName class=formData type=text value=/>

I am using the following jquery but this does not seem to work. Can someone tell me where i am going wrong.

$(.formData).html();

Edited JQuery Function that handles the event

$('#reset').click(function (){

            $(#userNameErr).text(); 

            $('#badgeNoErr').text();



            $(.errors).html();



            $(.formData).val();



        });

nor is $(.formData).text() or $(.formData).val() working.
