public class Hidden
implements StyleInterface

The Hidden is a TransformationBean™ that generates the appropriate HTML 4.0 for creating hidden HTML input fields. Hidden fields should not be rendered on the client and provide a means for servers to store state information with a form. This will be passed back to the server when the form is submitted. This is a workaround for the statelessness of HTTP.

The Hidden is one of several TransformationBeans™ that rely on a set of style classes that are used by default when generating the resulting markup language. For more information on style sheets and the default style classes that apply to this TransformationBean™, refer to the AppDev Studio Developer Site. You'll find a useful reference document entitled Cascading Style Sheets, Images, and TransformationBeans™ as well as the TransformationBeans™ Style Sheet Reference.

Note that the toString() method on this class calls the write method, which may have undesirable side effects. See BaseTransformation.toString() for more information. Debuggers often use toString() to show the value of a variable, and this may cause unexpected behavior while debugging

Examples for this class may be found on the Examples Site.

JSP custom tags provide an alternative to using the TransformationBeans™. Visit the Custom Tag Library Reference for additional information on the sas:Hidden custom tag.
