Please don't top post.

If the user cannot see the "hidden" input element, how is anything going
to get written to it?

If you want to pass information from one form to another, you can do so
using the hidden input element, eg.
<input type="hidden" name="blah" value="<%=request.form("blah")%>"> or
<input type="hidden" name="blah" value="<%=request.querystring
("blah")%>">

If you want the user to see the element, but not be able to write to it,
you can use the readonly attribute (although it seems I read somewhere
that doesn't always work). eg:
<input type="text" name="blah" value="Something you don't want changed"
readonly>
