Creating Hidden Fields

A hidden field is a field that is contained within the HTML code that is not displayed in the browser.

Although the field does not appear in the browser, it is still submitted in the normal manner, so the field must be included in the component structure and layout. It is passed between the server and the browser within the normal fieldname=value pairs string used by visible fields.

You can save the state information into hidden fields before the component is destroyed, and get them from the hidden fields when dealing with next request. The values of the hidden fields are only available after webget.

  1. Insert or load the field on the server page.
  2. Set its Field Syntax property to HID.
