User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

I change some of my hidden form variables using JavaScript.  However, 
intermittenly these variables are posted to the server using their original 
value instead of the current value assigned by the Javascript.

So my forms work sometimes and then unexpected do not work.  When I check the 
posted value for the form variables in  such cases I will find one with the 
wrong value (ie. the value posted does not agree with the current value on the 
web page.)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Attachment: Source code where problem was discovered.

This attachment is the source code of a web page where I detected the problem. 
Periodically the "txtTable" variable is posted to the server with No value
after clicking on an item in the listbox or selecting a value from the drop
down list.  However both of these controls set the value property of the
"txtTable" element.

This situation never occurs in IE5 or IE6.

Source code where problem was discovered.

I have now proved that this is not a bug but a design flaw in the way I
implemented the Javascripts on the Navigation buttons.	So please disregard
this bug.

I have proved this is not a bug but a problem with my javascript implementation.
