Or they're using an image input named "name"; for instance, as a graphic button. When the user clicks on it, HTTP automatically passes the click's x and y coordinates as {input's name).x and {input's name}.y. Before spending too much time hassling over this, it might be worthwhile to check with UPS about whether they're even using these two values. If they're being passed from an image map or something, they may care ("click on the shipping center nearest you", etc.); OTOH, if it's just a standard submit button, they may be ignoring that variable anyway. -- CC
