jquery.val returns empty value

Chrome’s version is 53.0.2785.143

When I call input.val() in firefox I get the value, but that doesn’t well in Chrome. I tried the ‘hack’ of disable > get the value > and enable the mask, but that didn’t seemed to work, either.

The mask is a date one: $('#birthday').inputmask('dd/mm/yyyy',{ "placeholder": "dd/mm/aaaa" });

The jsfiddle showed me the problem. type=“date”

Which is supported on chrome and not on ff (ff uses fallback => text) The inputmask does not mask when the native type=date implementaion is used, but was patching the value anyway which causes the empty value.

Thankyou, Robbin. Here is a simplified example on jsfiddle that works in firefox but not in Chrome 53.0.2785.143: https://jsfiddle.net/3xa3ztkn/2/
