How to pass data from a view to a controller?

[eluser]theciman[/eluser]
Here is the html code
<form action="http://ccc.ccc.com/dd/index.php/updateprojects/update_project" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="ProjectID" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="ProjectID" />
<input type="hidden" name="value" value="5" />

As we can see the value is passed but when I try to print the value in the form I get nothing. When I make the form viewable, that everything works fine. Any ideas?
