Set value of hidden input with jquery

Question

I\'m trying to set the value of the hidden field below using jQuery.

I\'m using

Answer 1

$('input[name="testing"]').val(theValue);

Answer 2

Suppose you have a hidden input, named XXX, if you want to assign a value to the following

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function(){
    $('#XXX').val('any value');
    })
</script>

Answer 3

You should use val instead of value.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function () { 
    $('input[name="testing"]').val('Work!');
});
</script>

Answer 4

To make it with jquery, make this way:

var test = $("input[name=testing]:hidden");
test.val('work!');

Or

var test = $("input[name=testing]:hidden").val('work!');

See working in this fiddle.

Answer 5

var test = $('input[name="testing"]:hidden');
test.val('work!');

Answer 6

This worked for me:

$('input[name="sort_order"]').attr('value','XXX');
