I am working with Play 2.0.4 and have the following form in my scala template.
@fieldGroup(field: Field, className: String = "field") = {
<div class="twipsies well @className">
<a class="removeField btn danger pull-right">Remove Field</a>
@inputText( // <=== I need a hidden input field here
field("id")
)
@inputText(
field("name"),
'_label -> "Name",
'_help -> "Use lower case, starts with an alphabet can contain numbers and underscores."
)
}
I need a few hidden fields in my forms, how do I bind it to the server side Form component? I have seen a @inputHidden template helper in the github repository but it is not available in the stable release. How do I accomplish what I am looking for? Thanks.
Write it 'manually' as common HTML:
<input type="hidden" name="id" value='@field("id").value' >
or use a way described in the documentation in Handling HTML input creation yourself section.
