How to exclude some input from post?
1-I have one form with several text inputs.
2-I'm using POS ACTION.
3-I want that some inputs dont go to the POST array.
How do I do that?

Hi,
As mentioned from the previous post, you can use the hidden fields . but make sure that name attribute is not set to the hidden field.
If they don't have a "name" attribute, they won't be submitted (will not be in the POST array).

Thanks!
the information from shobinson is correct for internet explorer only. firefox will send the ID if the name is not present. And if you use only an ID on an element that is server-sided (i.e. runat="server") then, for all input types, ASP.NET will automatically add the Name as well, which means: you need some extra tweaking for that hack to work... ;)
@alien109: a disabled element will still be sent to the server in the POST. It is, however, disabled for receiving user input.
Interesting. Apparently I am mixing readonly/disabled. The key line here is "Controls that are disabled cannot be successful." (and successful means: cannot be submitted). Thanks for pointing that out to me.
No problem abel. I've used this technique quite a bit in the past, so I was a bit nervous when you said that :) Had to do some quick tests and research!
<script type="text/javascript">
function disable() {
document.getElementById("b
}
</script>
<form id="test" action="" onsubmit="disable()">
<input type="text" name="bob" id="bob" value="" />
</form>
