Can Hidden element be accessed by javascript getElementByName?

Question

I have Hidden field like

<%= Html.Hidden("ID", 1) %>

and in javascript i want a value of that field by

var ID = document.getElementsByName("ID").value;

I can't access it!

is there any other way?

Answer 1

Try this :

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

for javascript to access it :

var ID = document.getElementById("ID").value;

other way with JQuery :

var ID = $('#ID').val();

Answer 2

Not sure of the context but shouldn't you be using getElementById ??
