In my examples the value will always be an integer. The user is not expected to change the value of the field.
<input type="hidden" value="14" name="user_id" readonly/>
<input type="number" value="14" name="user_id" class="hidden" readonly/>
The only way to make a field hidden in HTML is to use
type="hidden". You may have been misled by the HTML5 featuretype="number". It’s not really comparable to typed variables in programming or types of fields in data formats. Instead, it is meant for creating a specialized user interface suitable for input of numeric data (such as a spinbox, possibly still allowing typing of numbers). This would be pointless, as you do not expect or even allow user input here.
