submitting a form with hidden fields

[tpeck]

I can usually add some hidden fields but my situation is a little different.

I am placing html pages wrapped up in an exe file. Consequently when the form on one of the pages is submitted it does so from the exe file offline but going online to submit from the server:

<form name="emailform" action="http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/SaveForm.pl" target="_blank" method="POST">

It works, but when I receive the form it doesn't show a "from" field, just brackets ().

So I added a hidden field:

<input type="hidden" name="from" value="Feedback via exe file">

It doesn't work. Is my hidden field name incorrect?

If everything else works I suppose this is a Pearl issue, not an HTML issue. Shall I move the thread?

Oh, er right. Yes, please...

You will have to post your Perl script, though, and probably your entire HTML.

Perhaps it's too old but it's called SaveForm.pl.

A quick search and I now realise it is probably far too old a form.
