Update hidden field - jquery
<p>OK, going to try and explain this properly as I think thats why an answer is escaping me and some users are giving me negative replies as they think I have not tried with research to solve this problem.</p>

<p>I have a page where a user is presented with images within a slide viewer. Each item in the slide viewer is inside a LI element. </p>

<p>When a user chooses a slide, and the form is then submitted, I need the script to update a hidden field so I can take which slide they have chosen into a form. Either by updating onclick or when the form is submitted, it matters not when. The hidden field contains the URL of the image shown at that time.</p>

<p>So, the code I currently have is:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;!-- this is the slideviewer code --&gt;
&lt;script src="/js/jquery.slideviewer.1.2.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;!-- this is what I have been trying to update the hidden field --&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
$(document).ready(function(){
 $( "#wl_add" ).submit( function ( event ) { /* form name and id = wl_add */
 $('input[name="item_pic_url"]').val($('#mygalthree img').attr('src'));
 } );
});
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;!-- the div containing the slide viewer --&gt;
&lt;div id="mygalthree" class="svw"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;?PHP

foreach($html-&gt;find('img') as $e){ // from simple_html_dom

    $image = $e-&gt;src;

    echo '&lt;li&gt;&lt;img src="'.$image.'" width=300 alt="" /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;';

}

// the hidden field to be updated - i am presuming needs to be after the loop which feeds the LI elements
echo '&lt;input type="hidden" name="item_pic_url" value="'.$image.'" /&gt;';

?&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Or, would it be easier to update the hidden field each time a slide is chosen? below you can see the code for the slideviewer - I would have thought I might be able to add </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>$('input[name="item_pic_url"]').val($('#mygalthree img').attr('src')); </p>
</blockquote>

<p>when the user clicks? But I cannot find where to add this either and I have tried nearly every line! Slideviewer code:</p>

<pre><code>    jQuery(function(){
   jQuery("div.svw").prepend("&lt;img src='/images/spinner.gif' class='ldrgif' alt='loading...'/ &gt;");

jQuery.fn.slideView = function(settings) {
    settings = jQuery.extend({
        easeFunc: "easeInOutExpo",
        easeTime: 750,
        uiBefore: false,
        toolTip: false,
        ttOpacity: 0.9
    }, settings);
    return this.each(function(){
        var container = jQuery(this);
        container.find("img.ldrgif").remove();
        container.removeClass("svw").addClass("stripViewer");       
        var pictWidth = container.find("img").width();
