HTML Form - Hidden Control

• Authors may create controls that are not rendered but whose values are submitted with a form. Authors generally use this control type to store information between client/server exchanges that would otherwise be lost due to the stateless nature of HTTP. The INPUT element is used to create a hidden control.

Attributes:

• NAME="text"
  
  This attribute assigns the control name.
• VALUE="text"
  
  This attribute specifies the initial value of the control.

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="Title of Form">
