Depending on selector used to create typeahead, using the same selector to retrieve the value may fail

Regarding grabbing the value back out of a typeahead:
The example in the documentation gives you the idea that you can retrieve the value by simply calling .typahead('val') on a jquery object created using the same selector as the selector used to create the typeahead. the example in the docs here:
https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js/blob/master/doc/jquery_typeahead.md#jquerytypeaheadval
is:

var myVal = $('.typeahead').typeahead('val');

I interpreted this to mean that If I had a particular <input> with the class .typeahead on it, and I did a $('.typeahead').typeahead(... to create a typeahead on it, then the above code would hand me back the value. This isn't the case, because there is the "hint" typeahead that is copied, which doesn't have the value attached to it. You can see my problem illustrated here: http://jsfiddle.net/734x5/

I like the idea of typeahead going through the set of matched jquery elements until it finds one that has a value, and this doesn't seem too dangerous because we should know the structure of the dom nodes the plugin creates.

Modifying the documentation would be the easier choice of course :)

I agree, this is how it should work. I'll get this fixed for the next release.
