Someone else has mentioned that you should use <INPUT TYPE="hidden" ...>
form elements. May I just add that the way you were hoping to do it is
dangerous simply because it'll work on some systems and not others - oh, and
because it's a non-standard way of doing things, it'll be a pain for anyone
to debug in the future.

I say this because I've inherited some scripts that someone else wrote and
which are done in exactly the way you describe, so it took me some
head-scratching and "can you _really_ do it like that?" moments to figure
out what was going on!
