how to access a html:hidden element from javascript

I have a hidden element in my form

<html:hidden name="mtrResolutionForm" property="resolutionBean.selectId" />

I would like to assign a value to it in my javascript function

How do I access this hidden element in Javascript?

I tried using the following:

function selVal(ctl)

{

document.all.resolutionBean.selectId=ctl.value;

}

I cant use document.getElementById() since <html:hidden> tag doesnt support id attribute.

Even document.formName.hiddenPropertyname.value doesnt work here

Can somebody help me out with this please?

Thanks!

View source on the page, you will see that <html:hidden> has generated an <input type="hidden">

If that name has a dot in it, then you will have to use squarebrackets syntax to get a hold of it.

document.all['resolutionBean.selectId'].value

or probably better is to access it through the form

document.formsName['resolutionBean.selectId'].value
