Strange hidden field?

fastnet 26 Nov, 2009
Hi All

I have a very strange hidden field that appears in the source of a webpage form as below:

</div>
<input type="hidden" name="474c4b04307994f6f53ac0be973398ed" value="1" />
</form>

This appears right before the closing </form> tag.

Any idea what this is & how I can get rid of this, as it is being posted and messing up a webconnect its trying to post to.

cheers
Pip

Hi,
This is part of a security-feature in Joomla, designed to prevent cross-site submissions. There's an option to disable this on the General tab of your form setum (called check token or such), which should also remove the form input from the form.
