Hidden:
There is a tag found in forms that the user can't see. What if you wanted to knkow which page the message was coming from? It would be a pain for the user to type it in every time. An easier way is to make a hidden field.

A hidden field is easy enough to make.

You probably don't have much use for this now, but know that it exists. You can send a message back to yourself with every form sent to you.

Code
<form method="POST" action="mailto:myaddress@mail.com"> <input type="text" name="person" size="10"> Name<br> <input type="hidden" name="Attention" value="This person is dumb"> <input type="submit" value="Talk to me"> <br> <INPUT TYPE=RESET value="Clear it"> </form>
