Think of what it looks like in the browser (or do a view-source)

<input type=hidden name="name" value=mr programmer >

Now, what if it were

<input type=hidden value=mr programmer name=name>

What's the value? mr programmer? mr programmer name? mr programmer
name=name?

You need to use quotes to encaspulate your value.

<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<%=name%>">
