Hidden Object
The Hidden object represents a hidden field in an HTML form.
For each instance of an <input type="hidden"> tag in an HTML
form, a Hidden object is created.
You can access a Hidden object by indexing the elements array
(by number or name) of the corresponding form or by using
getElementById().
