Hidden text area on form

[Wayne-I-M]

Hi all

I can place a hidden text field on a form like this
<input type="hidden" name="Something" size="48" style="font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10pt" value="<% Response.Write strSomething %>"></font></td>

But is it possible to also hide a text area (I can't find anywhere to put
input type="hidden")

<textarea rows="10" name="SomethingElse" cols="66" style="font-family:
Arial; font-size: 10pt"><% Response.Write strSomethingElse
%></textarea></font></td>

Thanks

No
<input type="hidden" ... > is a specific kind of form field - namely a
hidden field.

You can hide a text area by making it not display.

<td>
<textarea style="display:none;" rows="10" name="SomethingElse"
cols="66"><% Response.Write strSomethingElse %></textarea>
& n b s p ; </td>

Since the text area is hidden, there is no need to style fonts etc.
Same applies to hidden fields.
The & n b s p ; (spaces between characters added to avoid display
problems) is to prevent the table cell collapsing, since it would
otherwise behave as an empty cell.

Really not necessary to use a style hidden textarea at all
(and for users w/ CSS turned off it will show and can be edited!)
- only difference between a textarea tag and an input tag is the # lines showing and the scroll bars
(the content is not relevant)
- since a hidden field needs neither just use a normal hidden field

Wayne have you tried putting the text inside layers. Take a look at what I
have done in www.delasallemia.org , click HELP and roll the mouse over the
visible text.

Don't use the clunky web interface. Set up Outlook Express as your NNTP
