title: Why does jQuery complain about an "invalid left-hand assignment"?
body: <pre><code>function auditUpdate(newval) {
      jQuery("#audit").val() = newval;
      jQuery("#auditForm").submit();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why do I get an error where I try to assign newval to the <code>#audit</code> value?</p>
