I'd make the field disabled. Then, when the form submits, make it not disabled. In my opinion, this is easier than having to deal with hidden fields.

//disable the field
$("#myFieldID").prop( "disabled", true );           

//right before the form submits, we re-enable the fields, to make them submit.
$( "#myFormID" ).submit(function( event ) {
    $("#myFieldID").prop( "disabled", false );
});
