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;

<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';
}
