jQuery and Hidden Input type not working

[Ustaad Desraj]

I am trying to access value of hidden inside jquery but it is not working.
it always takes null in it, and do not allow code to run

$(document).ready(
                        function()
                        {
                                       var x = document.getElementById("xman");
                                       $(".flip").click(
                                                             function()
                                                            {
                                                                    if(x=="123456")
                                                                   {
                                                                                   $(".panel").slideToggle("normal");

                                               and so on

__________

in body section i have written

<input type="hidden" value="123456" id="xman" /> 

Where am i doing the mistake?
kindly tell

Technically, you're not using jQuery to retrieve the value.

var x = document.getElementById("xman");

// should be

var x = $('#xman');

it is still not working

$(document).ready(
                        function()
                        {
                            var x = $('#xman');
                            
                            $(".flip").click(
                                                function()
                                                {
                                                      if(x=="123456")
                                                      {
                                                       $(".panel").slideToggle("normal");
                                                       $(".flip").hide();
                                                      }

                                so on

downside it is

<input type="hidden" value="123456" id="xman" />

[Gregg Bolinger]

Where exactly is the code failing? Are you using Firebug? if so, it should give you an error message in the console. What is it?

[Ustaad Desraj]

I am using NETBEANS and IE

It does not go after that 

if(x=="123456")
                                                      {
                                                       $(".panel").slideToggle("normal");
                                                       $(".flip").hide();
                                                      }
                                                       
                                                    
                                                        $(".panel").click(function()
                                                                        {  
                                                                            $(".panel").slideUp("fast");
                                                                            $(".flip").show();
                                                                        }
                                                                        );

Then I can't help you. Maybe someone else can.

[Ustaad Desraj]

but sir problem works same either netbeans or any other.

No read code and help me else i will destroy my head

[Bear Bibeault]

If you won't use proper tools, don't expect much help.

Test with Firebug in Firefox and let us know what you find.

[David Newton]

"x" is an element. You're comparing it to a string.

                                                       $(".panel").slideToggle("normal");
                                                       $(".flip").hide();
                                                      }

                                so on

downside it is

<input type="hidden" value="123456" id="xman" />

In the above code x is an object to compare the value to "123456" use x.val()...........

replace var x = $('#xman'); with var x = $('#xman').val();
This will work........
