You could give your hidden field an unique id:
<input type="hidden" name="smname" id="smname" />
and then in javascript:
document.getElementById('smname').value = count();
where count is the function you want to invoke and which returns the value:
var count = function() {
return 'some value';
};

Or with JQuery: $("#smname").val( count );
Try:
document.getElementsByName('smname')[0].value = count();

You want to use code such as
document.getElementById("name")
then deal with it as an object. remember to define a name/id for your html element.

If you give the input element an id attribute you will be able to get a reference to it in javascript using the document.getElementById() method then set the value property of the element
HTML
<input id="surname" type="hidden" name="smname" />
Javascript
var input = document.getElementById("surname");
input.value = count();
