Reporter: You are using an old build (M17). Could you try this on a more recent 
build? I tried another form with a hidden value and it worked, but I didn't try 
the above code. Could you kindly put it into an attachment for us all? :)

Hidden values work fine on:
- LinuxRH62 2000-09-05-08-M18 Commercial
- Win98     2000-09-05-08-M18 Commercial
- MacOS86   2000-09-05-08-M18 Mozilla

Marking INVALID.

Actually, it has to do with hidden values where the for post has a target - 
reopening
