The Intrinsic Hidden Control

The intrinsic Hidden control is used to provide data that is invisible to the user in the form. Hidden controls are useful when you want to pass data from a form to another process and send along key information that is supplied by the web page and not the user.

Attributes

NAME A string representing the name of the Hidden control
VALUE A string representing the default value of the control

Syntax

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" [NAME="string"] [VALUE="string"]>

Example

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="txtOne" VALUE="SECRET_CODE">
</FORM>
