jQuery get value of a input field attribute

Question

I cannot seem to get the test in the 'Value' field

<input name="ctl00$PlaceHolderMain$ctl01$ctl12$ctl00$HiddenUserFieldValue" type="hidden" id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl01_ctl12_ctl00_HiddenUserFieldValue" value="24;#Ryan,, C,#i:0#.f|membership|[email protected],#[email protected],#[email protected],#Ryan,, C">

How can get the data in the value field?

Thanks.. I know this should be easy but I'm about to shoot myself.

#id must be lowercase, so that is the reason why you cannot get the value of the element by id. — HenryW

Use the below code to fetch the element's value by id in jQuery. Check your output in console.

console.log($("#ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl01_ctl12_ctl00_HiddenUserFieldValue").val());

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.0.min.js"></script>
<input name="ctl00$PlaceHolderMain$ctl01$ctl12$ctl00$HiddenUserFieldValue" type="hidden" id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl01_ctl12_ctl00_HiddenUserFieldValue" value="24;#Ryan,, C,#i:0#.f|membership|[email protected],#[email protected],#[email protected],#Ryan,, C">

as id is there you should use # before the ID

var myval = $("#ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl01_ctl12_ctl00_HiddenUserFieldValue").val();

Don't use alert as a debug statement, use console.log

Very true, or you could just follow typical debugging convention and be a good developer ;)

you can do anything, you can consol.log , you can use alert , you can store the value in any variable , but the thing is using this you got the value. am i right ?

try console logging an array, and alert()'ing the same array. It's not the same.
