In line with the expansion of the Internet, the issue of information security has gained special importance. Many methods have been provided in order to establish hidden communications. In the meanwhile, steganography is one of a relatively new method. A method is introduced in this paper for exchanging information by steganography on HTML pages. The main idea in this method is to hide coded data in the ID attribute of the HTML document tags. Since numerous HTML pages are on the web, this method can be widely used. The suggested method is implemented by using the Java language.
