How do I update the value of a hidden field?

Question

Jsp has hidden field. The value of the hidden field is set.
<%= RequestCtx.getSessionInfoAsHiddenParam() %>
<INPUT type ="HIDDEN" name=billtoContactPartyId" Value="<%=billtoContactPartyId %>">
Based on some logic I've added to the jsp. I want to update the value of the hidden field. This does not work. How do I update the value?
windowForm.elements['billtoContactPartyId'].value = windowForm.elements['defaultcontactPartyId'].value;

Hi,
If you create a function to return wwctx_api.get_user you could
call this inside an update trigger, you could put in an
exception to return USER if there is an error, this would then
work for users connected directly and users using Portal.

e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F_PORTAL_USER RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
     vRet VARCHAR2(50) := wwctx_api.get_user;
BEGIN
     RETURN(vRet);
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
          RETURN (USER);
END F_PORTAL_USER;
