html - Hidden Form Field?

Question

<form action="/action.php">
<input type="textbox" name="Username" readonly value=" ' . $user->username . ' ">
<input type="checkbox" name="check1" value="selected">
<input type="submit" value="submit"></form>

I want to hide the textbox input of the form from the user? The text box automatically collects the username of the logged in user of my website but i don't want to show it to them..It looks awkward. How to achieve hide it? Is there a way out?

Answer 1

Well, just make it hidden then

<input type="hidden" name="Username" readonly value=" ' . $user->username . ' "> 

They can still see it in the source code though
