I was wondering if it's possible to store the return json in a hidden input field. For example this is what my json return:

[{id:15aea3fa,firstname:John,lastname:Doe}]

I would like to just store the id in a hidden field so I can reference it later to do something with it.

Example: I have something like this:

<input id=HiddenForId type=hidden value= />

and would like jquery to return the value later to me like so:

var scheduletimeid = $('#HiddenForId').val();

You can store it in a hidden field, OR store it in a javascript object (my preference) as the likely access will be via javascript.

NOTE: since you have an array, this would then be accessed as myvariable[0] for the first element (as you have it).

EDIT show example:

clip...

            success: function(msg)

            {

                LoadProviders(msg);

            },

...



var myvariable =;



function LoadProviders(jdata)

{

  myvariable = jdata;

};

alert(myvariable[0].id);// shows 15aea3fa in the alert

EDIT: Created this page:http://jsfiddle.net/GNyQn/ to demonstrate the above. This example makes the assumption that you have already properly returned your named string values in the array and simply need to store it per OP question. In the example, I also put the values of the first array returned (per OP example) into a div as text.

I am not sure why this has been viewed as complex as I see no simpler way to handle these strings in this array.
