apex:inputHidden
Use this component to get user input for a controller method that does not correspond to a field on an sObject. Only <apex:inputField> and <apex:outputField> can be used with sObject fields.
This component supports HTML pass-through attributes using the "html-" prefix. Pass-through attributes are attached to the generated <input> tag.
Example
1<apex:inputHidden value="{!inputValue}" id="theHiddenInput"/>The example renders the following HTML:
1<input id="theHiddenInput" type="hidden" name="theHiddenInput" />Attributes
