I'm new to using forms and have tried to find an answer to the
following questions through various on-line tutorials but so far no
luck.
Bascially, my questions is this. I want to present a form to the user
of my site but I don't want to make any of the fields mandatory. And
since they are not mandatory I want to be able to fill in default
values for all fields that the user doesn't enter data. But I DO NOT
want to present the default value to the user in any particular field,
only to use that default value once the user hits the submit button.
For example, let's say I have a "description" field. If the user
doesn't enter a description I want the description field to pass a
value of "to be entered later" once the user hits the submit button but
I don't want to actually display "to be entered later" to the user.
Thanks for any help.
