Question

I have a divider with a element from an HTML form… (text element)
I change the div css display to none with javascript
what will be the value of the element if the divider is set to display none
??

What will the value be if the element never existed in the first place ?

Answer 1

It will be whatever the ‘value’ attribute of the form element is. The CSS styling has no affect on the form values sent back to the server.

<form action="post_to_me.php" method="post">
 <input type="text" name="hideme" value="Initial value" style="display:none;" />
 <div style="display:none;">
  <input name="hideme2" type="text" value="Initial value" />
 </div>
 <input type="submit">
</form>

The form will post with both hideme and hidem2 equal to “Initial value”
