How to hide parameters showing up in browser when using jsp?

Question

I am a jsp newbie. I have a simple form like this:
<form type=post action="http://localhost:8080/MyTestServer/TestCodes.jsp">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Your name <INPUT type=text name="YourName" value="Your Name"></td>
<td>Your ID <INPUT type="password" name="YourID" value="Your ID"></td></tr>
</table>
<br><input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
and part of TestCodes.jsp codes are simply like this:
String name=request.getParameter("YourName");
String ID=request.getParameter("YourID");
It works fine.
However, my problem is, in the browser, it shows like:
http://localhost:8080/MyTestServer/TestCodes.jsp?name=John&ID=12345
I dont want those parameters are shown in the browser.
Pls tell me how to hide them. Thanks a lot.

Your form is written wrong. "type" is not the right attribute.
<form method="post" action="http://localhost:8080/MyTestServer/TestCodes.jsp">Since no method attribute was given, the browser defaulted to GET. Also note that you should always quote your attribute values.
You should read up on GET and POST. There's a little more to it than whether parameters are "hidden" or not.
