Thanks, but that does not seem to make any difference. Also, the name
must be enough because I've got HTML such as <input type="hidden"
name="txtProjectHomeLink_0" size="30" value="a dummy value"
class="ProjectHomeLink_0" /> with JQuery x=$
("input.ProjectHomeLink_0").val(); and it gets the value successfully.
It's just with the selector I'm having trouble. Note that it is not
coming back with undefined, so it is getting data - it's just that
it's a null string.
