How to make xoopsformhidden xhtml-valid?

Remark: I don't know if this is really a FAQ. But this one disturbed me when making my page xhtml-valid. There are two possible solutions. 1. make a tray with another formelement inside a module or 2. make the change systemwide which is much easier for the non-php-techie. Look for function render in include/xoopsform/xoopsformhidden.php and the line which reads:

return "<input type='hidden' name='".$this->getName()."' id='".$this->getName()."' value='".$this->getValue()."' />";
Problem with this code is, that the input-field for hidden will inserted between the tr-lines of the table which is not xhtml-valid. Just change the above line to:
return "<tr style='display:none;'><td colspan='2' style='display:none;'><input type='hidden' name='".$this->getName()."' id='".$this->getName()."' value='".$this->getValue()."' /></td></tr>";
What I did was just inserting another table-row. To prevent the new table-row from being displayed I used the style display:none. That is all!
