Re: [displaytag-user] Hidden variables getting appended in querystring

[Nils_Kilden-Pedersen]

Short answer: Use method="post" in your <form>
Long answer: Any variable you define (hidden or not) will get passed to the server when you submit a form. GET will pass variables in a query string (all variables), and POST will pass them through the HTTP header. Whether to use GET or POST depends on your application. Generally, use GET if your page is stateless, and POST if your page contains state or is part of a stateful process.
