I am trying to use jquery to append a text to a para. Text is taken from an input text. My code is as follows:

XML

<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <script src="jquery-1.11.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script>

        var x = $("input:text").val();
       $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#button1").click(function () {
                $("p").append(x);
            })
        })
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <p id="Messages">Messages displayed here:</p>
    </div>
        <div>
            <input id="Text1" type="text" />
                 <br />
            <br />
            <button id="button1">Submit</button>

        </div>

It I give a fixed valued to var x such as var x= "My text"; it works and text is appended. My effort here is to take text from input from input id= Text1. Apparently I am making mistake in getting the value of text from input.

Please help.
