<H1>Fill-Out Form Example w/ Hidden Elements (#13)</H1>
This is a very simple fill-out form example. <P>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="lib-ch-example-form-form.cgi">
A single text entry field goes here: <INPUT NAME="entry"> <P>
There are two "hidden" form elements which are not displayed
located here:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="hidden element#1" VALUE="blah">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="hidden element#2" VALUE="foobar">
<p>
These are created via TYPE="hidden" and can contain arbitrary NAME/VALUE pairs.
These can easily be used to maintain a form of "state" in multiple
connections with a server. <p>
To submit the query (including hidden data), press this button: <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit Query">. <P>
Things you may want to note: <P>
<UL>
<li>The hidden elements are not displayed but are not "secret". They can
easily be found via the "View Source" option.
</UL>
