Anyone has any ideas on how to change the value of a hidden field without posting back to the server using Javascript? I am looking for an AJAX alternative to do this. Any suggestions?

[CODE]
document.getElementById('yourHiddenFieldID').value = 'my new value';
[/CODE]

I have form that populates a data grid. I want to have the ability for the user to display with details or without details. I was thinking how to pass the value of a link to a hidden field without posting back to the server. My grid has to re-populate itself based on this condition so server side has to be invoked. I know I have to use AJAX for this but I was just thinking of a simpler method of going about this.
