Can I save the value of a textbox?

Question

I have one text box and have written "ABC" in the text box, but I want to obtain the text using jQuery

<input type=text value="ABC">

But when I use jQuery's .html() it returns null

Here's a FIDDLE

<input type="text">

<span></span>

---

$('input').keyup(function() {
  $('span').text($(this).val());
});

or

$('input').keyup(function() {
  $('span').html($(this).val());
});
