You just missed the . off your first class selector. Here's an updated working fiddle.

$('hiddenfield').val( //Missing .
    $('.prodheader').html()
);​

the way you tried is correct. you just forgot to add the dot[.] before class name

$('.hiddenfield').val(
    $('.prodheader').html()
);

You just forgot the class symbol in the selector. Here's the fix:

$('.hiddenfield').val(
    $('.prodheader').html()
