Answer 1

Well if I understand the question correctly, 'hdf' is the ID of the hidden field, so this will get you the value then... If I have misunderstood let me know.

I assume by thick box you mean you want to get a control inside an iframe or something similiar... here's how.

var hdfVal = $('#myIFrameID').contents().find('#hdf').val();

Or simply, just need to get a value of a control by ID...

var hdfVal = $('#hdf').val();

Are you using ThickBox to wrap an iframe? If not, try just:

document.getElementById('hdf').value;
