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.

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

See below code:

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