Question

I want to have a hidden input tag in my HTML page , so i tried the following:

<input type=hidden runat=server id=currentItem value="runtime_determinted" />

But it won’t got displayed on client , so I can’t find it with javascript.

If the the tag isn’t run at server side , I will have to append it to the end of the document , but which function should I use ?

Or is there any other solutions suitable ?

Answer 1

Why cant you use this instead, you can find it with javascript as well

<asp:HiddenField id="currentItem" runat="server" /> 

and then

var text = $('#<%= currentItem.ClientID %>').val();
