RE: hidden fields in netscape

As fate would have it, I found the problem.

In my field definition I did the following:
         <input type=hidden name="special">
I did not include the "value=" portion. When I added that part, all worked 
well. Thanks for your interest and hopefully you can help in my next problem.

Go to http://www.redroverclothing.com/pages/baby_hoodcardigan.html. Notice 
the menu on the left side. This menu is generated by a Javascript I got 
from the net and massaged for my needs. If you click on
"Hooded Cardigans" and then click on the "Return to shopping menu", the 
left side menu disappears. This only happens in Netscape.

Any ideas?
