Question

I want to check if a hidden field has a value or not and the id of the hidden field contains a pound sign, when I use jquery to get its value it throws because the pound sign is not allowed only one time at first before the id. Do I have to convert the pound sign to ASCII code or is there any other way to deal with it?

can anybody help?

var v = $('#ddlSort1#').val();

Answer 1

Try this:

   var v = $('#ddlSort1\\#').val();

OR

   var v = $('input[id$="#"]').val();
