Question

I’m trying to save a hidden value to be used by jQuery..

The jsf code:

<h:datatable id="myTable" var="aRow>
  <h:inputHidden value="#{aRow.someValue}" id="myTrID"/>
  <h:column> ... </h:column>
  <h:column> ... </h:column>
</h:datatable>

When looking at the rendered page source I can’t see any evidence of the <h:inputHidden>.

FYI, What I am trying to do is access this <h:inputHidden> with this jQuery code:

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myTable tr").click(function(event){
    var tr_value = $(this).children("input[name='myTrID']").val();
    alert("Row Value = " + tr_value);
    });
});

Try to put the hidden value inside one of your columns. Maybe the h:inputHidden is not allowed as a child of h:dataTable.
