Post a hidden field value

[Rauf ul Hassan]

I submit a form with a submit button and method of form is Post. When
I use request.getPara meter() in the next page to get the value of a
hidden field, I get a NULL value. However when I use Get method it
works fine, but I have to use the Post method as I dont want a long
URL as it might exceed the URL length limit.
By the way sometimes I do get the value but frequency of not getting
the value is very high.
Can anyone please help me with this problem?

Re: Post a hidden field value

From your description, you certainly seem to be doing the right thing.

I would suspect the problem is either (a) a bug in your client side code
which is not setting the field as you think, or (b) something in your server
side which needs POSTs to be treated differently to GETs
