[thelist] "Non-3d" form boxes

[M. Hannan]

All form elements are unhideable.  Try and put a layer over top of a form 
element and see what happens....the form comes shining through.  CSS is not 
a security issue but a hidden form could be (you could hit the Enter key 
(Alt-Cmd-DownArrow-Squiggly on the Mac) and submit something unknowingly.

Am I making sense now?
