HTML Forms: Hidden Fields

It is possible to "hide" INPUT information within a FORM with the HIDDEN tag, which will be received by the decoding script, but not directly displayed to the user on the form.

<Form   action=test.cgi>
	<Input name="URC.Title"   value="a test" >
	<Input name="URC.Title:X" value="a test" type=hidden>
	<Input type=submit>
</Form>

NAME

VALUE

Specify the hidden text value to be sent to the decoding script.

• Even though your HIDDEN VALUE isn't displayed in the form, the user can see the hidden text by viewing the HTML source of the document, just like in a PASSWORD field.
