printing a hidden field

[tennis]

Hello,

I believe this is a very easy task but I can't seem to make it work. I have a hidden value in my html page and I just want to display it:

<form name=&quot;parm&quot; ......
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;state&quot; value=&quot;MT&quot;>

I am trying to use alert to view the value : MT

I have used many versions but to no use, the latest being:
alert(form.elements[&quot;geoinfo&quot;].value);

How do I display a specific hidden value?

Thanks in advance.

your hidden field is named &quot;state&quot;, but you're calling &quot;geoinfo&quot;?

try: alert(document.forms[0].state.value);
