Why CodeIgniter put the input hidden fields in a div display:none - El Forum - 08-03-2012
[eluser]pierrehs[/eluser]
Hello,
I find the hidden forms fields in a div style="display:none"
For example for the security token
Code:
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="csrf_test_name" value="b850b6655768640df3e2b887yobpgh79">
</div>I want to know the reason, because in any case, all fields of type hidden are not visible.
Thank you.

I don't remember the precise details, but some older browsers would hide the hidden fields, but still allocate them some vertical height, which could mess up form layouts. Wrapping them in a div with display:none would eliminate this problem.
