On the underneath of your form, the frozen elements values will be converted to hidden elements. This is particularly useful if you have validation forms where you show what the user entered for confirmation. Note that hidden fields can be changed if the user edit your html. Use it like that: $form->freeze('__ALL__'); // to freeze all elements $form->freeze('elementName'); // to freeze just one element Good luck Webmaster ! Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
