This is simple. All I want to do is insert a hidden column into an asp:Griview that I'll be able to access through javascript. Any pointers?

You can hide a column by setting its CssClass property, e.g:

<style>
.hidden {display:none;}
</style>

...

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
    <Columns>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="Id" ItemStyle-CssClass="hidden"
            HeaderStyle-CssClass="hidden" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="Title" />
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>
