How to get the content of a textarea using jQuery?

Here I am using one textarea and one button.The first textarea is used for user input then click the button and display the value in the alert box.

Example

<html>
<head>
  <script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function () {
      $("button").click(function () {
        var dim = $("#txt").val();
        alert(dim);
      });
     });
  </script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<textarea id="txt" rows="5" cols="20"></textarea>
<button type="button" id="btn">Click Here</button>
</div>
</body>
</html>
