I'm trying to get the value of a SharePoint list multiline of text field using jQuery. I tried using: 

var titleValue = $("input[Title='Title']").val(); but it returns undefined.

and also the following returns empty string:

var multiline = $("textarea[Title='multiline']").closest("span").find("iframe[Title='Rich Text Editor']").contents().find("Body").text();

Can anyone please help?

Try:

function PreSaveAction()
{
    //Plain text
    var value= $("textarea[title='Title']").val();
    console.log(value);
};

For Title:

As the Title field is required field code snippet would be:

var titleValue  = $("input[title='Title Required Field']").val();

For Multiple lines of text:

var multiline = $("textarea[title='multiline']").val();
