class Formtastic::Inputs::HiddenInput
Outputs a simple `<input type=“hidden”>` wrapped in the standard `<li>` wrapper. This is provided for situations where a hidden field needs to be rendered in the flow of a form with many inputs that form an `<ol>`. Wrapping the hidden input inside the `<li>` maintains the HTML validity. The `<li>` is marked with a `class` of `hidden` so that stylesheet authors can hide these list items with CSS (formtastic.css does this out of the box).
@example Full form context, output and CSS
<%= semantic_form_for(@something) do |f| %> <%= f.inputs do %> <%= f.input :secret, :as => :hidden %> <% end %> <% end %> <form...> <fieldset> <ol> <li class="hidden"> <input type="hidden" id="something_secret" name="something[secret]"> </li> </ol> </fieldset> </form> form.formtastic li.hidden { display:none; }
