how to get html struts styleClass with javascript/jquery

Question

I need to get the value of the styleClass element in javascript. Page is in jsp with struts/html tag elements. jsp code is

<input type="hidden" class="filename" name="filename" value="<%= filename %>" />
                        <html:file property="testfile" styleClass="testfile"/>

and onclick of button I invoke the javascript

function fields() {
    var filename = jQuery('.filename');
    alert(filename);
    var testfile= jQuery('.testfile').val();
    alert(testfile);
    }

However in the firstcase(filename) I get [object object] returned and in second case I get "undefined". Can someone give some pointers on how to get the uploaded file name in jquery. Thanks

If you want to get a value from an input:

var filename = $('.filename').val();

or

var filename = jQuery('.filename').val(); (same as above)

read more here -> jquery selector can't read from hidden field

Try this

var testfile= jQuery('.testfile').attr('value');

It may be that your browser is preventing access to the value attribute for security reasons. Try both options in different browsers - Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc.
