How to get primefaces elements value with javascript

Question

I have a primefaces project and I'm facing a problem. I have a simple HTML component which is an input element of type hidden which gets its value from a backend bean. Now I need the value of that component as a javascript variable in order to validate it. How can I access the value from the hidden input element?

I've edited and rephrased the question, it should be clearer now. — Manuel, Sep 12 '13 at 07:38

For the next time, please post what you have tried so far. You can't expect us to write code for you. Show a little bit of effort. But because in that case it is not too much:

If you have something like this

<input id="myHiddenComponent" type="hidden" value="something received from your bean" />

you can access it with jQuery for example

$('input#myHiddenComponent').val();

If you dont know the id, you can use other jQuery selectors and the jQuery find as well, pick one which suits you.
