assign value to hidden field

[Michiel]

Hi guys,

short javascript question:

how can I assign a new value to a hidden field named 'properties[age]'? Both
form.properties[age].value = value; and form.properties.age.value = value; don't seem to work ...

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanx, Michiel

This should work:

document.forms['formName']['properties[age]'].value = ...

Replace formName with the name of your form.

However, i'm not sure if the hidden field should not be named properties["age"] instead.
