Question

I have a index.php

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
<?php
<input type="hidden" value="1" />
<input type="submit" id="button" value="submit">
?>

in file script.js I using:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#button').click(function(){
       var id = $(this).find('input:hidden').val();
       alert(id);
       return false;
    });
});

When using srcipt.js get id from index.php is result “undefined”
