M. Bur > buralien@gmail.com yes... why not, but in the documentation (first link above), I read : void constructor HTML_QuickForm_hidden::HTML_QuickForm_hidden ([string $elementName = NULL [, string $value = '' [, mixed $attributes = NULL]]]) 1/ string $elementName (optional)Input field name attribute 2/ string $value (optional)Input field value 3/ mixed $attributes (optional)Either a typical HTML attribute string or an associative array Furthermore, I use the addElement method so I have to indicate the type of element tot add through the first parameter... I guess setDefaults works fine when using create method, but I just want to know how to use it. In the well-done QuickForm guide at http://www.thelinuxconsultancy.co.uk/quickform.html the author indicates : $form->addElement('hidden', 'code', 123454) creates a code like : <input name="code" type="hidden" value="123454" /> (page 9) So I stay on my first question : how to use the addElement with hidden fields ?
