Keep value of input which is generated by Javascript after submitting

Question

I have this code to append the input panel #yearPanel after the select box #before changed.

$("#before").change(function() {
    var selected = $('#before option:selected').text();

    if(selected == bankShowYear) {
        $(yearPanel).insertAfter("#yearAnchor");
        var value = $("#yearHiden").val();
        $("#year").val(value);
    } else {
        $("#yearPanel").remove();
    }
});

I want to keep the input value of #year in #yearPanel after submitting by PHP. I tried to store the value in #yearHidden and assign it to #year after all the input are rendered but it doesn't work.

How to keep the input value?

You might want to add the HTML and PHP to help clarify your problem. — Marshmellow1328

Try this:

$("#before").change(function() {
    var selected = $('#before option:selected').text();

    if(selected == bankShowYear) {
        $(yearPanel).insertAfter("#yearAnchor");
        var value = $("#yearHiden").val();
        $("#year").val(value).attr('name', 'year');
    } else {
        $("#yearPanel").remove();
    }
});

Then, on your next page:

$("#year").value(<?php echo $_REQUEST['year']?>);

OR

 <input id="year" value="<?php echo $_REQUEST['year']?>" />

your input needs a name attribute in order for it to be passed along to your serverside php script

You need to pass the value to PHP via a hidden field and PHP will have to render it on the next page. In other words the value needs to go from the client-side to the server-side and back to the client-side.
