Set value to hidden column with jquery

I am trying to set value to a hidden column. Previously i have achieved this by doing:

var bc = $("select[title='Broadcast Channel']").val();
$("select[title='Execution Channel']").val(bc);

This works fine as I am able to get the column which exist in html source.

Now I am trying to set value to a hidden column which I have hidden in Sharepoint 2010 list setting. And I am not able to find it under html source (e.g. <input type=hidden....>).

How can I set value to this hidden column?

In share point make the field as text input and then using jquery make it hidden and then set the value. try something like

$('input[type="text"][title="abc"]').attr('type','hidden').val("abc");

There is a common problem that if an element is hidden from back end code, normally it is simply not rendered in the html generated. Elements that needs to be manipulated at the front end need to be shown but hidden using html or js code.

Not sure if the following method will be acceptable to you, but here goes...

In sharepoint, make the input field non-hidden. Instead, make it invisible at document.ready() using JQuery. If the input field is given a specific ID/class name, you can get a reference to the same, and set the text (using text() function), or for more complex situations, consider enclosing it all in a div.
