title: Whay can't I nclude a link in a hidden field?
body: <p>Why can't I include a URL in a hidden input field?
  I need to so I can clone a db record from one form into a new record. Is it not possible to have a link in a hidden input field?</p>
  <p>I populate the form from a db search and enter the found items into the &quot;value&quot; of hidden fields. This is my form sample:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;form action=&quot;/action_page.php&quot;&gt;
    &lt;label for=&quot;fname&quot;&gt;First name:&lt;/label&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;fname&quot; name=&quot;fname&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;hidden&quot; id=&quot;custId&quot; name=&quot;custId&quot; value=&quot;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.rkheadshots.com&quot;&gt;RK Headshots&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>The only time I have an issue is if there is a link in the tect being placed into a hidden field.</p>
  <p>You can see from that sample hidden field that
  RK Shots&quot; /&gt;
  will be visible. Happens to similar areas if there is a link in the value I'm trying to place into a hidden field.</p>
  <p>Thoughts?</p>
