<hidden> problem again

I have the problem with the <hidden> tag and the inlinecallout.
I've seen earlier messages on this in the forum but couldn't see a solution that worked. i.e I tried having the hidden tag opened and closed before the callout bu to no avail.
I'm also running 5.5.2 but to no avail :-(
Anyone have a solution to this ?

cheers

If you're running 5.5.2 - I'd recommend investigating FormAPI - that way you can have more control over marking things as hidden or visible. Have you played with any of the OOTB templating samples that came with 5.5.2? Specifically in the userscript section?

I'm using some simple FormAPI to set a fixed LanguageID in the DCT. It was your good self or another of the TS Gurus that suggested that, and it works just great, even with <hidden>.
But I have an inline that does a call to the DB to get the next available ID for a DCR that is the problem.
Are you suggesting I do the DB call with some FormAPI instead of an inline ?

I think what Fish is saying is that it may be simpler for you to use your <inline> to set the <default> value of a <text> instance and use FormAPI to make the <text> instance invisible automatically when the form loads. This is easier than using a <callout> to set the value of a <hidden> instance, and has the same effect of giving you a hidden value in the dct.
