I've got a cgi that works perfectly as such to print HTML

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" unless $content_type_printed++;

print qq!
<html><head><title>Coupons</title></head><body bgcolor=#000000>
<table width=100%><td width=20%><center><img src=&quot; width=*><center><font size=+3 face=verdana color=FFFFF>Bestwestern Super Savers</td></font> <td width=20%><center><img src=&quot; <br><br><br><center> $dateString </center><p><hr><p>
<center><table width = $tablewidth border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;>
<form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot; <center><table border=1 cellpadding=0 border=0 cellspacing=1 bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;>
<tr bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;><td bgcolor=&quot;#ececec&quot;>First Name</td><td><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;firstname&quot; size=&quot;25&quot;></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;><td bgcolor=&quot;#ececec&quot;>Last Name</td><td><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;lastname&quot; size=&quot;25&quot;></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;><td bgcolor=&quot;#ececec&quot;>Number in Party</td><td><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;numberinparty&quot; size=&quot;25&quot;></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;><td bgcolor=&quot;#ececec&quot;>Room Number</td><td><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;roomnumber&quot; size=&quot;25&quot;></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;><td bgcolor=&quot;#ececec&quot;>Email</td><td><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;email&quot; size=&quot;25&quot;></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;><td bgcolor=&quot;#ececec&quot;>Vendor</td><td><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;cellphone&quot; size=&quot;25&quot;></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;><td bgcolor=&quot;#ececec&quot; colspan=2 align=&quot;center&quot;><input TYPE=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</td></tr>
</table>
</center>


but when I put in <input type=&quot;hidden&quot; type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;something&quot; value=&quot;someone@somewhere.com&quot;>

it comes back as Internal Server Error - will cgis not accept &quot;hidden&quot; values?

Thanks for any responses!

Sure it will...... it maybe that you need to escape the @ in the email or some other simple tweak like that.

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;something&quot; value=&quot;someone@somewhere.com&quot;>

do you mean to declare type twice? that might not make a difference, but you never know. &quot;If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending a night in a closed tent with a mosquito.&quot;

You DEFINITELY need to escape the @ in the email address!
Code: 
value=&quot;someone\@somewhere.com&quot;
