JQuery: Get original input value

Question

Is it possible to get the initial value of a form input field?

For example:

Answer 1

var initialVal = $('#one').val();
alert(initialVal);
$('#one').live("focusout", function() {
    var attribute = $("#one").attr("value");
    var value = $(this).val();
    var get = $(this).get(0).value;
    alert( "Attribute: " + attribute + "\n\nValue: " + value + "\n\ninit val: " + initialVal +"\n\nGet: " + get );
});
