# HTML DOM Hidden Object

## Hidden Object

The Hidden object represents a hidden input field in an HTML form.

For each instance of an <input type="hidden"> tag in an HTML form, a Hidden object is created.

You can access a hidden input field by searching through the elements[] array of the form, or by using document.getElementById().
