passing name parameter through form using jquery

Question

I have a website with multiple pages using the same form in footer. The footer is included through php, so it's the same on every page. I want to identify the page which message was sent from.

So basically on every page I specify the page-id parameter (thought the would be a good idea?):

<a class="page-id" name="page-a"></a>

then in footer inside the actual form I will get a hidden input field with auto-filled value of "page-a" defined on the actual page:

 <input class="which-page" type="text" value="">

so I want the input to look like this after auto-implenentation of the value:

 <input class="which-page" type="text" value="page-a">

I was trying to use jquery to implement this dynamically, but I'm not very good at it. Here is what I have.

  $pageid = $('.page-id').find('name').clone().text('');
  $('.which-page').find('value').contents().wrap($pageid);

jsfiddle

Thank you

Use attr() for the name attribute and val() to set value of the <input>

$pageid = $('.page-id').attr('name');
$('.which-page').val($pageid);

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<a class="page-id" name="page-a"></a>
<input class="which-page" type="text" value="">
