Setting hidden field value with Jquery $('#id').attr("value", 'val'); not working in IE

Question

I noticed that IE doesnt fill the value of a hidden field, using the code below, while Chrome and FF have no problem with this.

$('#id').attr("value", 'val');

I tried a few other things like .setAttribute or .val() = "val";

Answer 1

You need to pass value to val() jquery function,

$('#id').val("your value");
