Pass a javascript variable value into input type hidden value

Question

I would like to assign value of product of two integer numbers into a hidden field already in the html document. I was thinking about getting the value of a javascript varia

Answer 1

Hidden Field :

<input type="hidden" name="year" id="year">

Script :

<script type="text/javascript">
     var year = new Date();
     document.getElementById("year").value=(year.getFullYear());
</script>

Answer 2

//prompts for input in javascript
test=prompt("Enter a value?","some string");

//passes javascript to a hidden field.
document.getElementById('myField').value = test;

//prompts for input in javascript
test2=prompt("Enter a value?","some string2");

//passes javascript to a hidden field
document.getElementById('myField').value = test2;

//prints output
document.write("hello, "+test+test2;

now this is confusing but this should work...
