Hidden Tags in HTML
Hidden fields are not displayed by the browser, there are a number of uses for them. When dealing with forms you will usually find yourself using some sort of database mechanism: MySQL, SQL Server, or maybe just a plain text file. In any case use hidden forms to pass along information to your database that may have already been received from the user. In this rare case, a hidden form field may come in handy.
A hidden HTML field is used to pass along variables w/ values from one form to another page without forcing the user to re-enter the information. Use the type attribute to specify a hidden field.
There is no display of your hidden field in the box because the browser is told to hide them from view.Code:<input type="hidden" />
Naming your fields can be accomplished in two different ways discussed previously. Use the id or name attribute to specify a name for your hidden field.
Code:<input type="hidden" id="age" name="age" value="23" /> <input type="hidden" id="DOB" name="DOB" value="01/01/70" /> <input type="hidden" id="admin" name="admin" value="1" />
Above we have demonstrated 3 possible hidden fields that you may want to pass along some form at some point, especially if you have any kind of user base where returning users must log in. The admin field could be used to check some sort of user level entry of a returning user; 1 being administrator and 0 being non-administrator access.
Use hidden fields when you have variables you want to pass from one form to another without forcing the user to re-type information over and over again.
HIDDEN FIELD
Hidden fields are similar to text fields, with one very important difference!
The difference is that the hidden field does not show on the page. Therefore the visitor can't type anything into a hidden field, which leads to the purpose of the field:
To submit information that is not entered by the visitor.
AN EXAMPLE
The hidden field does not show, but still, when the form is submitted the hidden field is sent with it.Code:<html> <head> <title>My Page</title> </head> <body> <form name="myform" action="http://www.mydomain.com/myformhandler.cgi" method="POST"> <div align="center"> <input type="text" size="25" value="Enter your name here!"> <input type="hidden" name="Language" value="English"> <br><br> </div> </form> </body> </html>
Hidden Tag <html:hidden>:
This tag facilitate an HTML <input> element of type hidden, populated from the specified value or the specified property of the bean associated with our current form. This tag is only valid when nested inside a form tag body.
You will learn to use the Struts Html <html:hidden> tag.
I hope this helps you.
