Using Hidden Fields with WebSpeed 1.0+
Using Hidden Fields with WebSpeed
Hidden fields allow you to store "hidden" information
within an HTML form. These fields are not displayed at the
client. However, if the user selects the "View Source"
option in the browser, the entire form is visible,
including the hidden fields. Hidden fields are therefore
not meant for security (since anyone can see them) but just
for passing information between forms.
The syntax in HTML for a hidden field is as follows:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="cust-num" VALUE ="55">
To assign a value to a hidden field you set the
screen-value e.g.
cust-num:SCREEN-VALUE in frame {&FRAME-NAME} = cust-num-val.
In WebSpeed Workbench you should not alter the enabled
attribute in the property sheet of the hidden field. When a
hidden field is disabled, it is sent back to the web browser
as plain text i.e. the value of the field is visible.
