Jamie, You can pass information from an HTML form via the POST method (this will hide the data from the user, but won't encrypt it or anything). Generally if you have a lot of data, and/or you intend to update a database (as opposed to getting a result set or something), you should use the POST method. It's a paramater in the <form> HTML tag. I suggest you peruse (a) a book on HTML, and (b) the HTTP spec (this is a must for servlet or cgi developers) -- http://www.w3c.org. Kito D.

�s parameters in the Browser ?
Hi everybody ! How do you hide the parameters you send to a servlet through a web page ?, I don
�t want they appear in the url edit box of the Web Browser ( IExplorer, Netscape Communictor ), becuase these parameters is the username and password that receives the servlet in order to do a validation.
