Purpose
Creates a hidden field for a form and sends it directly to RealWeb's RWC.OUTBUF output buffer.
Hidden fields are always included in the submitted form's parameter list. They cannot be amended by the browser or user. Hidden fields can be used to label a form so that a routine responsible for processing many different forms can easily identify an individual form or form version (see Example 1).
Another use for hidden fields is to manage user/server interactions, allowing the server to link several forms submitted by one user. For example, the first form submitted by the user may have requested some basic information, such as name and address. Based on that initial contact, the server might create a second form asking more specific questions of the user. Since it is tedious for the user to re-enter the name and address details, the server can be programmed to put those values into the second form in hidden fields (see Example 2).
