is the value passed via HiddenField to client-side always string?

[André]

Hi,

I want to pass a integer value to client-side via a hiddenfield created in
the aspx (HiddenField1)

dim myvalue as integer
myvalue=5
HiddenField1=myvalue

When fetching in Javascript, the value is of type string.
var myvalue=document.getElementById("HiddenField5").value

Is this by default? Do i have to parseInt each value passed?

Thanks
André
