Question: I need to get the value of a hidden input field using JS,

```
   var credoff = parseInt($(this).children('input.credoff:hidden').val());

```

which works fine in FF but does not work in IE, the input im talking of is the following...

```
<input type='hidden' value='$row->coff' class='credoff' name='credoff'/> 

```

Answer: 
Could you try `input[type='hidden']`?
Or this: 

```
var credoff = parseInt($(':input[type:"hidden"][name:"credoff"]').val());

```
