Question

I have a value in Jquery. I need to apply that value to a view which has a model.
For example, I need to do assign it to the :

    @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.program.programid)

the variable that I am trying to store in model.program.programid is called prog.

I tried:

    $('#program_programid').val(prog);

but does not seem to assign it the value.

Answer 1

If your object is a textbox, val() sets its value:

$('#program_programid').val(prog);

If not, then use text():

$('#program_programid').text(prog);
