Pass hidden field value using Jquery

Question

I have a normal hidden Input field where I am generating random string. I need that to be appended to the URL where I am trying to post data to another page.

I have done this and works pretty well.

url:'Upload.html?field1=newvalue',

This is my hidden input field

<input type="hidden" id="randomdirectory"/>

Now instead of newvalue in the query string I need to pass my random directory value.

Answer 1

easily accomplished just do the following

var value = $("#randomdirectory").val();
url:'Upload.html?field1='+value ,

thats it ..

Answer 2

Just give a name to the hidden field.

<input name="field1" type="hidden" id="randomdirectory" value="randomvalue"/>
