JQuery add hidden element to form programmatically
- by vanzylv
Hi Guys
This is really getting to me now.I have a form that loads when the page loads.In my jquery
'ready' function I append a hidden to that form like so :
$("<input id='thehidden' type='hidden' name='thehidden' value='hiddenval'>").appendTo("#MenuForm")
When I check the form content with firebug i can see the element is added.
["$(\"#MenuForm\").children()"] is [div, input#thehidden hiddenval]
All good so far.When I submit this form and try and read the elemet again,i can't get the value of the new hidden val I added.
alert($('#thehidden').val())
is undefined
Any help would be appreciated
