Newbie with hidden field question

I am new to CDML and I am developing a website to my FMPro5 database. I would like to populate a field in the database without the user "seeing" in on their browser.

For example. I have a field called "Contact_Method". This field will always have "Web" when the user submits from their browser. I want this field to be automatically entered for the user. I just cannot figure a way to do this via CDML!?

TIA.

Hi, You can treat these fields just as you would in any other form, like a mail form, so the input for a new record would be:

<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=contact_method VALUE="web">

just put the line anywhere within your form area

regards, Jeff
