Hidden Input Field

[mwl707]

I want to include a hidden input field using javascript.

 

in HTML I would use

<input type="hidden" name="salary" value="33000">

 

can anybody help me write it in js, I have tried all combinations and nothing is working

 

Thanks

<script language="javascript">

function doInsert(){

	var container = document.getElementById("the_hidden_container");
	container.innerHTML = "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"salary\" id=\"salary\" value=\"33000\" />";
}

</script>

<form>
Sample Text
<div id="the_hidden_container"></div>
Sample Text
<input type="button" value="Insert Hidden Field" onclick="doInsert()" />
</form>

 

If you test it in firefox, click the button, then select both sample text and click view source, you will see the hidden input field has been inserted into the div tag. Hope that helps.
