Hidden
An invisible form element that can store values on a web page without the visitor seeing them; useful for sending secret information to a CGI script.
Properties
| FF, IE 3 | Name of a hidden element |

For example:
window.document.the_form.my_hidden.value = "a nice person";
will set the value of the hidden element named my_hidden to a nice person. If the form is subsequently sent to a CGI script, the value will be passed along.
