Here are two examples of how your code should look ... init = function() { var1="hello"; alert(document.getElementById("HddElement").value) document.getElementById("HddElement").value = var1; alert(document.getElementById("HddElement").value) } init = function() { var1="hello"; f = document.forms[0]; alert(f.HddElement.value) f.HddElement.value = var1; alert(f.HddElement.value) }

Well for starters your hidden element should look like this: <input type="hidden" name="HddElement" id="HddElement" />

hi

this gives warning ... ValidationTest

hi

here is the warning ... The sequence can be interpreted in at least two different ways, depending on the DOCTYPE of the document. For HTML 4.01 Strict, the '/' terminates the tag '). However, since many browsers don't interpret it this way, even in the presence of an HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it completely in pure HTML documents and reserve its use solely for those written in XHTML.

Because, you are not supplying the "ID" in the element.
