Title: Switching from $element.prop("value", [...]) to $element.val() when setting value in form control

Using the jQuery(element).val("SOME_VALUE") method instead of jQuery(element).prop("value", "SOME_VALUE") so that the set method gets hit if present.

See jQuery's val implementation for further details.
