WebDialog.get_element_value

Under SketchUp 2013 initial release WebDialog.get_element_value doesn't work for <TEXTAREA> and <SELECT> elements. It does however work under older SketchUp versions for these elements. Windows versions of SketchUp never had this issue.

It is unclear if this used to work under earlier OSX versions. This needs to be verified.

To work around this one can call a javascript function that fetches the value, such as jQuery $(selector).value() and put that in a hidden <INPUT> element and then use WebDialog.get_element_value to get the value of that <INPUT> element. This acts as a bridging function that is cross platform compatible.
