Question

I want to change a hidden inputs value when I push on a button. Here’s what I’m doing.

My hidden input

<input type="hidden" value="action" id="action" />

My buttons

<INPUT name=submit value=~#SUBMIT~ type="button" id="btnSubmit" class="submitDatum">
<INPUT name=delete value=~#DELETE~ type="button" id="btnDelete" class="submitDatum">

My javascript

$("#btnSubmit").click(function() {
    $('#action').val('submit');
});

$("#btnDelete").click(function() {
    $('#action').val('delete');
});

Could anybody help?

kind regards
