Using Hidden Data in Forms
This is the part of the form that you can invisible to the viewer but not to you. By that mean, you have that coded in and isn’t visible to the browser at all. This one requires every item used. All the attributes are used and can be useful depending on the purpose you have exactly. Look below and see what each attribute does and its purpose.
Input - just something to show that it’s apart of a form and that’s it.
Type - tells you the type of input that you are planning to use.
Name - sends data and is the information sent through the Internet.
Value - it's purpose is to dictate what type of value it has.
For this purpose, I will show you the hidden value in all of the <input> tags. Much like in all tutorials using the <input>, it has no end tag.
Example
<input type=”hidden” name=”admin” value=”2”>
Nothing is visible above? It is correct.
This is the basic understanding on the hidden tag.
