Add a hidden field to a form
To add hidden fields to a form, follow these steps:
- Open the page that contains the form.
- In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design .
- Right-click a form field, and then click Form Properties.
- In the Form Properties dialog box, click Advanced.
- Click Add.
- In the Name box, type the name of the new hidden field.
For your form to work correctly, you need to use a unique name for this form field.
- In the Value box, type the value that is to be sent to the form handler.
Note You do not need to enter a value if you are using hidden fields to store information (for example, from one page to another in a multi-page form), or to collect additional data from your site visitors (for example, a login name or a timestamp).
