Question

I have code like the following in an external script:

var contentID = $('#ContentID').val();

How can I set up on my form a hidden field with an ID of “#ContentID” and a value of for example 99? I just want the value to always be 99 on that form and the value will never change.

Answer 1

Provided you have a form like this:

<form id="myform"></form>

you can do somethign like this:

var hidden = $('<input>').attr('id', 'ContentID').attr('type', 'hidden').val('99');
$('#myform').append(hidden);
