Question

Im sending over some json data and assigning to a hidden field using:

@Html.Hidden("hidden-places", @Model.Places)

inside my javascript i am doing the following to retrieve the data:

  var places = $('#hidden-places').val();

however it just comes back as undefined.

i am using this for google maps…

i tried something like:

$(document).ready(function () {
      places = $('#hidden-places').val();

    // Onload handler to fire off the app.
    google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
});

but no luck.

I had multiple elements with the same id on the page causing the problem
