To pass the value you must included the hidden value value  hiddenValue  in the  lt input gt  statement like so    lt input type  hidden  id  thisField  name  inputName  value  hiddenValue  gt    Then you recuperate the hidden form value in the same way that you recuperate the value of visible input fields  by accessing the parameter of the request object  Here is an example   This code goes on the page where you want to hide the value    lt form action  anotherPage jsp  method  GET  gt       lt input type  hidden  id  thisField  name  inputName  value  hiddenValue  gt   lt input type  submit  gt      lt  form gt    Then on the  anotherPage jsp  page you recuperate the value by calling the getParameter String name  method of the implicit request object  as so    lt   String hidden   request getParameter  inputName      gt  The Hidden Value is  lt   hidden   gt    The output of the above script will be   The Hidden Value is hiddenValue
