You are passing the Element Object, you need to access its value

<td><button onclick="test(document.getElementById('someText').value)">Invoke Some</button></td>

Replaced

test(document.getElementById('someText'))

with

test(document.getElementById('someText').value)

Use the id of the div to get the value in it and pass it to the function.

<input type="hidden" id="someText" name="someText" value="Hello World!">  </td>
<td>
    <button onclick="test(document.getElementById('id of your div').value)">Invoke Some</button>
</td>
