form fields provide another way to save state between pages <input type=hidden name=name value=sue<input type=text name=job value="enter job"when example - is opened in browserwe get the input page in figure - figure - tutor html input form page when submittingwe trigger our original tutor py script once again (example - )but some of the inputs have been provided for us as hidden fields the reply page is captured in figure - much like the query parameters of the prior sectionhere again we've hardcoded and embedded the next page' inputs in the input page' html itself unlike query parametershidden input fields don' show up in the next page' address like query parameterssuch input fields can also be generated on the fly as part of the reply from cgi script when they arethey serve as inputs for the next pageand so are sort of memory--session state passed from one script to the next to fully understand how and why this is necessarywe need to next take short diversion into state retention alternatives climbing the cgi learning curve
