Hidden fields are missing while doing 'view source'

I have two hidden fields in my jsp form. When i get the page in browser and do 'view source', I could see only the first hidden field, not the second field.

 <input type="hidden" name="url" id="url" value="<%=url%>" />
 <input type="hidden" name="age" id="age" value="<%=age%>" />

Is the syntax wrong? Please help

Update:

Code:

<form name="displayForm" action="javascript: submitPage();"> 

<input type="hidden" name="url" id="url" value="<%=url%>" /> 
<input type="hidden" name="age" id="age" value="<%=age%>" /> 
<span class="notice required">* indicates required field</span> Source in the browser is 
<form name="displayForm" action="javascript: submitPage();"> 
<input type="hidden" name="url" id="url" value="unix.com"; /> 
<span class="notice required">* indicates required field</span>

which browser do you use? Did you try to inspect it with some sort of "developer tool" (Chrome - Developer tools, FF - Firebug, IE8+ - Developer tools)?

When you submit the form what happens, what do you get for "age"?

Make sure that the tomcat serving the JSP has actually deployed your changes. Try to locate the file "jspfilename_jsp.java" and look if your hidden field statements are actually in there. You might want to take a look at Lambda Probe for Tomcat, which cleans the cache with a click of a mouse, forcing a rebuild.

No. It must be there. You might be conditionally rendering it.
