How can I select a hidden field by value?

Answer 1

Note: Since jQuery 1.9 the input[value="banana"] selector is no longer valid, because 'value' of the input is technically not an attribute. You need to use the (far more difficult to read) .filter

E.g.

$("input").filter(function () {
    return this.value === "banana";
});
