It takes hidden_field_tag(name, value = nil, options = {})

So the third parameter is for options.

hidden_field_tag("page", "1", {:id => "page_no"}) would set name to "page", value to "1" and id to "page_no"

You have to pass first parameter as name, and second as value. Also, you can override the name of the parameters like this.

  <%=hidden_field_tag :param_name, 'param_value', {:id => 'ashish_id', :name => 'another_name'}%>

Good on 'ya for the override. Useful for cases like `:name => 'movement[user_id]'` – Jerome Nov 12 '16 at 11:34
