How to add integer value from variable to hidden field by jquery

Question

I want add the return value from var Selectedvalue to hidden field id="Branchidhidden" in its value.

jQuery:

function Branch() {
    var Selectedvalue =  $( "#Branchitemtypeid option:selected" ).val(); //The return value is correct 
    $('#Branchidhidden').attr('value', Selectedvalue)
}

HTML:

<input type="hidden" id="Branchidhidden" name="Branchidhidden"  value=""/>

When I see the view-source value in hidden field is empty.

can you please post your full code ? I mean the select and options part too — Muhammad Usman, Nov 03 '17 at 14:14

You need to set the `value` attribute: `.attr('value', Selectedvalue)` This is a duplicate question. — trincot, Nov 03 '17 at 14:16
use `.val(yourValue)` on that input, but remove the `value=""` attribute from hidden input tag — Dawid Zbiński, Nov 03 '17 at 14:34

use PROP/VAL instead of ATTR

function Branch() {
    var Selectedvalue =  $( "#Branchitemtypeid option:selected" ).val(); //The return value is correct 
    $('#Branchidhidden').prop('value', Selectedvalue);

    // or val
    $('#Branchidhidden').val(Selectedvalue);
}
