I am "somewhat" new to Scala, and am learning some Scala.js. I have a html form and am trying to take the strings from the fields and do some pattern matching to see if they meet basic criteria.
The problem I'm having refers to the method of getting the strings from each field, with jQuery("#id").value. I noticed that no matter what string i input into the fields I get the same "Success" alert for each field. When I printed the result of the jQuery().value method to the javascript console I always get "undefined", so I assume something with that is the problem.
As far as I can tell, the value method returns a scalajs.Dynamic, not a string. I am unsure, therefore, how to simply get the text from these text fields and am sure I'm missing something. Here is my code:

key match {
case "email" => isValidEmailAddress(email)
case "phone" => isValidPhone(phone)

}
}
PS: I am aware that there are some other errors in this code. I am mainly concerned with knowing how to get the string from the text input with Scala.js's JQuery api.
value()instead ofvalue-- I'm not sure they are interchangeable at the facade level. Although I confess I'm a bit surprised this even compiles: if you put a:Stringtype ascription onemailand the like, what happens?
