I want to create a input textbox that does not require a <input type=text> form element. The user can still type text into this textbox and the value can still be retrieved using Javascript/jQuery. The reason for doing this is because this textbox will be in a form that upon submit, all form input values will be sent to the server side for processing, and there is this textbox that I dont want its values to be automatically send to server side.

Problem: What is the best way to create such a textbox without relying on HTML form elements input?
