  • 0

All,

I have a Jquery ajax request calling out a URL. The ajax response I receive is an HTML form with one hidden variable in it. As soon as my ajax request is successful, I would like to retrieve the value of the hidden variabl. How do I do that?

Example:

html_response for the AJAX call is : 
<html><head></head><body><form name="frmValues"><input type="hidden" 
name="priceValue" value="100"></form></body></html>


$.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: "/abc/xyz/getName?id="+101,
        cache: false,
        dataType: "html",
        success: function(html_response)
        {
            //Extract form variable "priceValue" from html_response
            //Alert the variable data.                                 
        }
        });

Thanks

    The html_response you get will be a string. As such, if you happen to know exactly what the page will look like, you can just search the text using indexOf.

    …But that solution is messy and error prone. Alternatively, you could create a new HTML element (like a div), put your response html in there, and then obtain the hidden variable as you would access any normal html element.

    For example:

    var tempDiv = $("<div/>");
tempDiv.append(html_response);
var myValue = tempDiv.find("input[name='priceValue']").val();
