Use template.find().value

May i suggest to use "template.find().value" to retrieve elements?

For example on page 123 (book version 1.6) the code can be rewritten such as:

jquery

$(e.target).find('[name=url]').val()

Meteor style

template.find('#url').value

It is the Meteor style and also ensures that a null value is returned instead of undefined.

Yeah, we should do this.

Just wanted to leave a Disqus comment before I saw this. Why not don't you use e.target.url.value? Clean and simple if there's a name attribute.
