I guess you simply want to convert your string value to numeric.

Just use parseInt():

parseInt("78963", 10);  // 78963

If the value pretends to be floating, there is parseFloat() method:

parseFloat("78963.1");  // 78963.1

And one more shortcut to make casting:

+"78963";  // 78963

In case if you simply want to replace single quotes, you may use:

"'78963'".replace(/'/g, "");  // "78963"

(as stated by others) or do tricky split:

"'78963'".split("'")[1];  // "78963"

You can use .replace() function on strings: http://www.w3schools./jsref/jsref_replace.asp

str.substr(1, str.length - 2);

Just $('#element').val(), you will get exact value. here element will be the id of hidden box.

If it's true that the value of the hidden input field contains single quotes, the (in my opinion) best answer is the one which JamesAllardice put in a ment:

yourValue.replace(/'/g, "");
