Is there a way to keep hidden fields from being emailed after submitting?

1 New Member
Hi Everyone, this is my first post here.

This may sound weird or silly but I have an HTML form and used javascript to validate fields and I use a CGI to process the data. There are hidden fields too, but I don't want them to be seen in the email that I receive after submitting the form.

I can't modify the CGI, because I don't have permissions but I'm allowed to use it to process the data. I just have access to the HTML page and javascript code. The CGI has some required fields that I don't need, that's why I kind of "solved" this by setting them as "hidden" so the CGI won't throw horrible messages asking me to fill out those required fields. But I don't want them to show up in the resulting email at all. What can I do?

Thanks!

What language is the CGI written in? Without looking at the code there is no way we can know.
