Not a regular programmer here, however I am creating a form and need to know how to make the field information hidden. Basically meaning, I do not want the field information to show up in the browser, however I want the information to be submitted with the form because this is dealing with SS#'s.

Here is my code:

Can anyone help, if so Thank YOU so much:<HEAD>
<META name="GENERATOR" content="IBM WebSphere Page Designer V3.0.2 for Windows">
<META http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<TITLE></TITLE>

<Script Language="JavaScript">



function redirect(){
setTimeout("window.location.href='/stores/b_e_aerospace/newdocs/thanks2.html'",5000)
}

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the question here, but in this part of your code it looks like you'd like the user to be able to input their SS# without having the numbers shown as they enter this number.
.....DEBTOR'S SOCIAL SECURITY NO. (FOR PARTNERSHIP
OR INDIVIDUAL)</FONT> <INPUT size="20" type="text" maxlength="25" name="SOCIAL SECURITY #">.....

With '<input type="hidden"...>', the user will not be able to enter any information in this field. You may want to try:
<input type="password" Name="SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER">

With the above, the user can input their SS#, but the number will not be visible on the screen ;). On a side note, if security is an issue, using 'mailto:' is not a very secure method of submitting your form. The prompt alerting the user to the fact that the form is being sbmitted via email might cause some concern considering the personal nature of the info. being submitted. You might want to look into CGI for handling your forms, but that's up to you. Just thought it was worth mentioning. Good luck ;).

Thanks all of you for your help.

Boxer, I am looking into CGI Programming for security, however unsure how this works. Never, programmed any CGI scripts. I'm on an Windows NT System, Https Apache Server. My email system is Lotus Notes, how will I handle the CGI scripts in this environment, any suggestions?

Thanks
