There're several methods to send data to a web server. Forms normally use
GET or POST. In HTML you specify it with the 'method' attribute in 'form'
tag. GET method implies using the URL to send the data while POST gets its
data sent in the body of the request.

Also, please note that the 'hidden' type only affects the way the field is
rendered into the page (i.e., not displayed).
