Replacing select input with hidden input

    I'm working with a php script that has a form for uploading video files.
    One of the choices in the form is to choose a "channel".

    I'd like help in changing this, so the user doesn't have to choose, it's always the same channel choice.

    I was given some advice, but I could use some more information.
    Here is the existing code that i'd like to change. And below that is the advice I was given.

    <li style="width:240px; text-align:right;"><strong>[var.lang_select_channel]:</strong></li>
                    <li style="width:400px; text-align:left;">
                      <select class="upload-video-form-input" style="width:160px;" size="1" name="channel" onchange="javascript:ahahscript.ahah('[var.base_url]/uploader.php?sub_cat='+ document.form_upload.channel.value, 'sub_change', '', 'GET', '', this);">
                      &nbsp;[var.fields_all;htmlconv=no]</select>&nbsp;([var.lang_select_one])
                    </li>
    
    Code (markup):
    The advice:
    "You need to remove the select input, and add this type of hidden input:
    <input type="hidden" name="

    Can someone help me create the right replacement code, so it will hidden and automatically choose a single channel? Thanks.

    <li style="width:240px; text-align:right;"><strong>[var.lang_select_channel]:</strong></li>
                    <li style="width:400px; text-align:left;">
                      <input type="hidden" name="channel" value="SINGLECHANNEL">&nbsp;([var.lang_select_one])
                   </li>
    HTML:
    I believe that is what you're looking for... ? That follows the advice you were given, but it will not display the channel to the user. Also.. kind makes the majority of that HTML code useless.
