But why bother? Certainly you would not think it secure. Use https for security, anything else is a mirage afaik. There is a module in Perl that encrypts and unencrypts post/get data intended for hidden fields. I guess it uses a checksum as well. I personally prefer to just create a session and keep it on the server side. Oh heck, but now as I read your email closer I guess you are asking how it can be done from a form the first time. Perhaps with javascript but then use post instead of get and of course make it via a secure connection if security is a concern. Peter
