If you don't want to assign identifier to the hidden field; you can use name or class with selector like:

$('input[name=hiddenfieldname]').val();

or with assigned class:

$('input.hiddenfieldclass').val();

This should work:

var hv = $('#h_v').val();
alert(hv);

Use val() instead of text()

var hv = $('#h_v').val();
alert(hv);

You had these problems:

  • Single quotes was not closed
  • You were using text() for an input field
  • You were echoing x rather than variable hv

Closing the quotes in var hv = $('#h_v).text(); would help I guess
