Change value of input on form submit in JavaScript?
To change value of input, use the concept of document. The syntax is as follows −
document.yourFormName.yourTextName.value=anyValue;
Let’s say the following is our input type calling submitForm() on clicking “Submit Form” −
<form name="studentForm" onsubmit="submitForm();">
<input type="hidden" name="txtInput" value="10000" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit Form"/>
</form>
The submitForm() function changing the value of input −
function submitForm(){
document.studentForm.txtInput.value='STUDENT-100';
}Example
