Adding a hidden entry

Hidden entry form elements allow you to supply additional information to the CGI script without displaying the information on your Web page. When viewers submit their forms, hidden entry data is sent to the server along with the data they have entered in the form.

To add a hidden entry to the form area:

1. Place the insertion point inside the red border of the form area.
   
2. Choose Forms from the Insert menu and then choose Hidden Entry from the submenu.
   
   Claris Home Page inserts a hidden entry form element and opens the Hidden Form Entry Object Editor.
   

   

   

3. In the Hidden Form Entry Object Editor, type the appropriate values in the Entry Name and Entry Value text boxes. The Entry Name identifies the value entered in the Entry Value.
   
4. Close the object editor to apply your settings.

Note Because hidden entries are invisible to the viewer, they don't appear when you view your Web pages in Preview Page mode or in a browser.
