  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#button').click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      alert($('#a1').val());
      alert($('#b2').val());
    });
  });

dont use same id a1 for <a id="button">button</a> and <input type="text" id="a1"/>

and you can use jquery val() function to get value

alert($('#a1').val());
alert($('#b2').val());

Do like this :

window.alert($("#a1").val());
window.alert($("#a2").val());

Your code should appear likt this :

<input type="text" id="a1"/>
<textarea id="b2"></textarea>
<a id="button" onclick="window.alert($('#a1').val());window.alert($('#a2').val());return false;">button</a>
