Hide data from HTML source
Dear CGIs!
This is novice in CGI programming.
On my home pages, user can search members that match
with his queries.
There is no problem, except I don't want to show "User ID" to
user.
How can I do this?
How can I hide "User ID" in HTML source?
Is it possible?
And one more,
Can I hide a record field from query result?
(Ex. Name | Age | Height | Weight | ...
I want to hide age field from query result. But it is necessary to execute other program. So, I have to query it)
Thanks in adavance.

Well, it has to be somewhere.
Or maybe I don't understand your question in a first place :)
Anyway, in order to for a CGI to get a parameter, it has to be in the form either as a button/checkbox/pulldown/w
There is, however, an option of keeping it in the cookies, if you are interested,
I can show you how I recently did it
in one of my projects.

Thanks!
I'm interested in your project.

Well, here it goes:
use CGI; # :)
When you CGI (on of your CGI's) get's the UID from the user
it first takes it, of course:
$login = $query->param('login');
Then, whenever you want to write a cookie to a user
you make smth like:
$cookie = $query->cookie(-name=>'rrs
-value=>$login,
-expires=>'+10m');
# Where rrs_login is the name of the cookie, and +10m is 10 minutes
to remember it. Since the cookie sent to a browser in the header,
you will need to do all this before sending the header to the user.
Now, you can send it to user:
print $query->header(-cookie=>$c
-expires=>'now',
-Pragma=>'no cache');
That way, the rrs_login cookie is saved in the user's browser, and other CGI
can access it through:
$login_from_cookie = $query->cookie('rrs_login'
Anyway, that was short, you can read all about it in the CGI.pm documentation (the one I learned it from :):
http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/cgi_docs.html
good luck, but remember, users can always switch cookies off in their
browsers or use some weird non-netscape-non-ie-neverh
