Hidden TextArea
Set CSS display to none for textarea
<textarea name="hide" style="display:none;"></textarea>
but is the css style tag the correct way to get cross browser compatibility?
<textarea style="display:none;" ></textarea>
or what I learned long ago....
<textarea hidden ></textarea>
or
the global hidden element method:
<textarea hidden="hidden" ></textarea>
An <input type=hidden> element is not a hidden input box. It is simply a form field that has a value set via markup or via scripting, not via user input. You can use it for multi-line data too, e.g.
<input type=hidden name=stuff value=
"Hello
world, how
are you?">
If the value contains the Ascii quotation mark ("), then, as for any HTML attribute, you need to use Ascii apostrophes (') as attribute value delimites or escape the quote as ", e.g.
<input type=hidden name=stuff value="A "funny" example">
