$(str).val(); // this would do it...

have a look

var str='<input type="text" name="se_tbox" value="Beauty is Fake" />';
alert($(str).attr('value'));
// or
alert($(str).val());

You can use jquery

$('<input type="text" name="se_tbox" value="Beauty is Fake" />').val()

or regular expression

'<input type="text" name="se_tbox" value="Beauty is Fake" />'.match(/value="([^"]*)"/)[1]

you can use this:

$(str).val();

You shouldn't stringify your HTML to process it.
But if you have to, you can use a regexp to get the value:

var val = '<input value="Beauty is Fake" />'.match(/value="([^\"]+)/)[1];
