Giving a Hidden field a name

    Hello. I need to be able to populate a hidden field using Javascript with a result from an ajax query. I can do this by referring to the id which is generated in the form. However this isn't very portable and I'd like to use the same piece of js in different forms. If I could name the hidden field I could do this, however at the moment I don't seem to be able to.

    Unless you have a trick that is. The content of this field does need to arrive in the entries table otherwise I could dynamically generate the hidden input.

    Any suggestions?

    Regards

    There is a custom parameter name you can use when populating the field dynamically using PHP, however jQuery is different. The only way to target the field using jQuery is going to be via the ID which is dynamically generated.

    If you could implement this using custom PHP you could use the parameter name, which you control, which means it could work across sites as long as you configure the field to use your custom parameter name.

    There are How To's for dynamically populating fields in the Documentation area under How To.

    Hi Carl. Much as I suspected then. Can you consider this a feature request then?

    Regards
