Hi

The HTTP header sent by the browser contains the POST-Variables.
There are many ways to change the value in hidden fields.

i.e.:
- Save the Page, change the source, change form action from '/search/search.asp' to 'http://<whatever>/search/search.asp' and the hidden field values to what ever you like.

- Write a prog or use telnet and send the HTTP header yourself

- Try Firefox with the Live HTTP headers plugin. you can capture outgoing http requests, modify them and send again..

Hello Group,

Is there a way to send values to hidden fields ,

i.e Input tags with type=hidden attribute a value from the URL if the action
attribute on the FORM is ACTION ?

e.g:

<FORM form1 ACTION= '/search/search.asp'  METHOD=post>

<Input type=hidden name=serverName value=www.abc.com>
<Input type=hidden name=serverName value=www.def.com>


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given the Method is "POST", can I pass values to the Hidden Input fields
using the URL. i.e URL manipulation ?
I know I can pass variables in URL to Server side script variables if METHOD
is "GET".

But how about POST method ?

Thanks.

Kumar.
