Pass a javascript variable to html. jQuery

Question

I have a variable in Javascript:

var test ="whatever"

I just want to pass this variable inside a hidden input:

<input type="hidden" class="myinput" value="">

I tried:

$('.myinput').attr('test');

But it does not seem to work.

Thank you for your help.

Did it help, if so please mark it is as accepted for closure. — Selvakumar Arumugam

Use .val function to set the value of hidden input.
Remove the quotes to consider it as a variable and not a string literal.

See below code:

$('.myinput').val(test);

"Use .val function to set the value of the textbox" More to the point, to set the value of a hidden input. (Hidden inputs are not text boxes.)
