I have a problem, I need to obtain the values for html elements by name using Jquery ussually I would do it like this $("input[name=form_size]).val(); but what if my name attr value looks like this name="data[referralMedium][referral_id]" how do I write the JQuery code?

You need to put quote marks around it:
$("input[name='data[referralMedium][referral_id]']").val();
Note that technically the quote marks are always required. See the docs for the attribute equals [name="value"] selector.

In addition, you can create your own selector like #id, .class etc. Say for example you want $("--some_name") to return the elements with the name "some_name". This is possible to achieve with a custom selector.

So this will then also work if($("input[name='data[ReferralMedium][referral_id]'] option:selected").val() == 13){

@Roland How can an
input have a descendant option?Elitmiar
@lonesomeday - My Bad, it should be select not input
The name has to be quoted:
var element = $('input[name="data[referralMedium][referral_id]"]');

That's a good question. What I might do is class each of those inputs and get the value by class rather than by name. I think it's faster, too.
<input type="text" name="data[referralMedium][referral_id]" class="referralMedium_referral_id"/>
$('.referralMedium_referral_id').val();

$('input[name="data[referralMedium][referral_id]"]').val();
