title: Javascript set value of an input field
body: <p>Since while I cannot set the value of an input field with type=text.
  Before, I always used something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input style="display: none" type="text" name="geo_poi" value="" id="geofeld" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then, in JavaScript i added code containing a line like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>document.getElementById("geofeld").value = geo_poi;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This always worked. Maybe the new browsers don't want to support the method above anymore.</p>
