Jquery- Get hiddenfield value in user control

In this post we will see how to get value of dynamically loaded hiddenfield value in jQuery. This happens when we use user control in page. In such cases id of hiddenfield get changed and so hiddenfield is not accessible from javascript or jQuery. We can't access hiddenfield using class selector also because hidden field don't have class property. In this case we can use "ClientIDMode" property and set it to ClientIDMode="Static". When we set ClientIDMode="Static" it will not set dynamic id to hidden field. And now we can access it in regular way.

Code to get hiddenfield value in user control [jQuery]

You can set ClientIDMode property of hidden field in user control like:

<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hiddenValue" ClientIDMode="Static" value="Some Value" />

And in jQuery you can access it as like:

   <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#submitbtn").click(function () {
                var hiddenValue = $("#hiddenValue").val();
                alert(hiddenValue);
            });
        });
    </script>

Summary: After setting ClientIDMode="Static" it will not assing dynamic id to hiddenfield and we can access hiddenfield as usual.
